Comment:

 See branch: `bug23751_032_01`.

 To be clear, the above is a bandaid that I'm not happy about but for 032 I
 don't think we have much choice. To propagate back up the connection write
 error, we would need a refactoring touching many subsystems.

 This again piles on the importance of #23993. The channel subsystems needs
 a thorough cleanup/redesign.

 Last thing, this can possibly lead to a use-after-free (I'm still
 uncertain if that can be triggered remotely) with the KIST scheduler so
 I'm bumping this fix to a higher priority.
