Prior to the commit identified below, call_transmit_status() would
handle -EPERM and other errors related to an unreachable server by
falling through to call_status() which added a 3-second delay and
handled the failure as a timeout.
Since that commit, call_transmit_status() falls through to
handle_bind(). For UDP this moves straight on to handle_connect() and
handle_transmit() so we immediately retransmit - and likely get the same
error.
This results in an indefinite loop in __rpc_execute() which triggers a
soft-lockup warning.
For the errors that indicate an unreachable server,
call_transmit_status() should fall back to call_status() as it did
before. This cannot cause the thundering herd that the previous patch
was avoiding, as the call_status() will insert a delay.
Fixes: ed7dc973bd ("SUNRPC: Prevent thundering herd when the socket is not connected")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
