I noticed flakes in a packetdrill test, expecting an epoll_wait()
to return EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP on a failed connect() attempt,
after multiple SYN retransmits. It sometimes return EPOLLERR only.
The issue is that tcp_write_err():
1) writes an error in sk->sk_err,
2) calls sk_error_report(),
3) then calls tcp_done().
tcp_done() is writing SHUTDOWN_MASK into sk->sk_shutdown,
among other things.
Problem is that the awaken user thread (from 2) sk_error_report())
might call tcp_poll() before tcp_done() has written sk->sk_shutdown.
tcp_poll() only sees a non zero sk->sk_err and returns EPOLLERR.
This patch fixes the issue by making sure to call sk_error_report()
after tcp_done().
tcp_write_err() also lacks an smp_wmb().
We can reuse tcp_done_with_error() to factor out the details,
as Neal suggested.

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.
