Subject[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 139/196] libceph: don't bail early from try_read() when skipping a message
Date
3.19.8-ckt16 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com>

commit e7a88e82fe380459b864e05b372638aeacb0f52d upstream.

The contract between try_read() and try_write() is that when called
each processes as much data as possible. When instructed by osd_client
to skip a message, try_read() is violating this contract by returning
after receiving and discarding a single message instead of checking for
more. try_write() then gets a chance to write out more requests,
generating more replies/skips for try_read() to handle, forcing the
messenger into a starvation loop.
