Thanks for your explanation, I think I get it now. I misunderstood
that you were worried about returning TCP_ESTABLISHED instead of
TCP_CLOSE, but it's exactly the other way around.

I have a follow up question regarding the existing code:

    result = lookup_reuseport(net, sk, skb,
                    saddr, sport, daddr, hnum);
    /* Fall back to scoring if group has connections */
    if (result && !reuseport_has_conns(sk))
        return result;

    result = result ? : sk;
    badness = score;

Assuming that result != NULL but reuseport_has_conns() == true, we use
the reuseport socket as the result, but assign the score of sk to
badness. Shouldn't we use the score of the reuseport socket?

Thanks
