    tcp: fix forever orphan socket caused by tcp_abort · bac76cf8
    Xueming Feng authored
    We have some problem closing zero-window fin-wait-1 tcp sockets in our
    environment. This patch come from the investigation.
    
    Previously tcp_abort only sends out reset and calls tcp_done when the
    socket is not SOCK_DEAD, aka orphan. For orphan socket, it will only
    purging the write queue, but not close the socket and left it to the
    timer.
    
    While purging the write queue, tp->packets_out and sk->sk_write_queue
    is cleared along the way. However tcp_retransmit_timer have early
    return based on !tp->packets_out and tcp_probe_timer have early
    return based on !sk->sk_write_queue.
    
    This caused ICSK_TIME_RETRANS and ICSK_TIME_PROBE0 not being resched
    and socket not being killed by the timers, converting a zero-windowed
    orphan into a forever orphan.
    
    This patch removes the SOCK_DEAD check in tcp_abort, making it send
    reset to peer and close the socket accordingly. Preventing the
    timer-less orphan from happening.
    
    According to Lorenzo's email in the v1 thread, the check was there to
    prevent force-closing the same socket twice. That situation is handled
    by testing for TCP_CLOSE inside lock, and returning -ENOENT if it is
    already closed.
    
    The -ENOENT code comes from the associate patch Lorenzo made for
    iproute2-ss; link attached below, which also conform to RFC 9293.
    
    At the end of the patch, tcp_write_queue_purge(sk) is removed because it
    was already called in tcp_done_with_error().
    
    p.s. This is the same patch with v2. Resent due to mis-labeled "changes
    requested" on patchwork.kernel.org.
