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.
