Consider the following "duelling syn" sequence between two peers A and B: A B SYN1 --> <-- SYN2 SYN2ACK -->
Note that the SYN/ACK has already been sent out by TCP before rds_tcp_accept_one() gets invoked as part of callbacks. If the inet_addr(A) is numerically less than inet_addr(B), the arbitration scheme in rds_tcp_accept_one() will prefer the TCP connection triggered by SYN1, and will send a CLOSE for the SYN2 (just after the SYN2ACK was sent). Since B also follows the same arbitration scheme, it will send the SYN-ACK for SYN1 that will set up a healthy ESTABLISHED connection on both sides. B will also get a CLOSE for SYN2, which should result in the cleanup of the TCP state machine for SYN2, but it should not trigger any stale RDS-TCP callbacks (such as ->writespace, ->state_change etc), that would disrupt the progress of the SYN2 based RDS-TCP connection. Thus the arbitration scheme in rds_tcp_accept_one() should restore rds_tcp callbacks for the winner before setting them up for the new accept socket, and also make sure that conn->c_outgoing is set to 0 so that we do not trigger any reconnect attempts on the passive side of the tcp socket in the future, in conformance with commit c82ac7e69efe ("net/rds: RDS-TCP: only initiate reconnect attempt on outgoing TCP socket.")
