When encryption is enabled on an rpc client, it can sometimes fail to reconnect. This happens because, on the first reconnect attempt the underlying transport is freed if connect fails. Further reconnect attempts will not happen as the transport doesn't exist anymore. This can lead to clusters showing inconsistent peer status information, and not performing correctly when management encryption is enabled.

COMMIT: http://review.gluster.org/13554 committed in master by Raghavendra G (rgowdapp) ------ commit d117466422b2fe97390b9ccc7a3c277e7a64285a Author: Kaushal M <kaushal> Date: Tue Mar 1 13:04:03 2016 +0530 socket: Launch socket_poller only if connect succeeded For an encrypted connection, sockect_connect() used to launch socket_poller() in it's own thread (ON by default), even if the connect failed. This would cause two unrefs to be done on the transport, once in socket_poller() and once in socket_connect(), causing the transport to be freed and cleaned up. This would cause further reconnect attempts from failing as the transport wouldn't be available. By starting socket_poller() only if connect succeeded, this is avoided.
