spin_unlock(&client->lock); .... if (n & POLLOUT && !test_and_set_bit(Wworksched, &m->wsched) schedule_work(&m->wq); --> not done because Wworksched is set clear_bit(Wworksched, &m->wsched); return; --> nobody will take care of sending the new request. This is not very likely to happen though, because p9_write_work() being called with an empty unsent_req_list is not frequent. But this also means that taking the lock earlier will not be costly.
