I agree that it addresses a real problem here, however there are a
couple of issues with the patch itself:
AFAICS, the 2 possible next states for SYN_SENT are TCP_ESTABLISHED and
TCP_CLOSE, so if the connection attempt fails, this patch leaves the
XPRT_CONNECTING flag set.
There is also the issue that clearing XPRT_CONNECTING in TCP_FIN_WAIT1,
TCP_CLOSE_WAIT and TCP_CLOSING could interfere with another connection
attempt by canceling the XPRT_CONNECTING state.
How about the following? It is based on your patch, but adds a check to
ensure that xs_tcp_state_change() doesn't clear the 'connecting' state
more than once (which could otherwise still happen in the TCP_CLOSE
case).

Subject: [PATCH] SUNRPC: Ensure that we wait for connections to complete
before retrying
Commit 718ba5b87343, moved the responsibility for unlocking the socket to
xs_tcp_setup_socket, meaning that the socket will be unlocked before we
know that it has finished trying to connect. The following patch is based on
an initial patch by Russell King to ensure that we delay clearing the
XPRT_SOCK_CONNECTING flag until we either know that we failed to initiate
a connection attempt, or the connection attempt itself failed.
Fixes: 718ba5b87343 ("SUNRPC: Add helpers to prevent socket create from racing")
