This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled vsock: avoid to close connected socket after the timeout to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: vsock-avoid-to-close-connected-socket-after-the-time.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2ad8dafab4b6b0b9356cb1635e4faf10273635eb Author: Zhuang Shengen <zhuangshengen@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 11 19:34:30 2023 +0800 vsock: avoid to close connected socket after the timeout [ Upstream commit 6d4486efe9c69626cab423456169e250a5cd3af5 ] When client and server establish a connection through vsock, the client send a request to the server to initiate the connection, then start a timer to wait for the server's response. When the server's RESPONSE message arrives, the timer also times out and exits. The server's RESPONSE message is processed first, and the connection is established. However, the client's timer also times out, the original processing logic of the client is to directly set the state of this vsock to CLOSE and return ETIMEDOUT. It will not notify the server when the port is released, causing the server port remain. when client's vsock_connect timeout,it should check sk state is ESTABLISHED or not. if sk state is ESTABLISHED, it means the connection is established, the client should not set the sk state to CLOSE Note: I encountered this issue on kernel-4.18, which can be fixed by this patch. Then I checked the latest code in the community and found similar issue.
