Hi Graul,

Yes, I have tested this idea, it will be too late sometime. I won't fix
this issue.

Yep, I am testing this approach in my environment. I am going to keep
these return codes and return the available one.

TCP could handle this already, but it doesn't make much sense to call it twice. When
call smc_shutdown(), we can check sk_shutdown before call kernel_sock_shutdown(),
so that it can slightly speed up the release process.

I will send this soon, thanks for your advice.
