This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tcp: count CLOSE-WAIT sockets for TCP_MIB_CURRESTAB 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: tcp-count-close-wait-sockets-for-tcp_mib_currestab.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 0e16c34abbaf3475779f879203d3abf233fa9e7e Author: Jason Xing <kernelxing@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jun 4 01:02:16 2024 +0800 tcp: count CLOSE-WAIT sockets for TCP_MIB_CURRESTAB [ Upstream commit a46d0ea5c94205f40ecf912d1bb7806a8a64704f ] According to RFC 1213, we should also take CLOSE-WAIT sockets into consideration: "tcpCurrEstab OBJECT-TYPE ... The number of TCP connections for which the current state is either ESTABLISHED or CLOSE- WAIT." After this, CurrEstab counter will display the total number of ESTABLISHED and CLOSE-WAIT sockets. The logic of counting When we increment the counter? a) if we change the state to ESTABLISHED. b) if we change the state from SYN-RECEIVED to CLOSE-WAIT. When we decrement the counter? a) if the socket leaves ESTABLISHED and will never go into CLOSE-WAIT, say, on the client side, changing from ESTABLISHED to FIN-WAIT-1. b) if the socket leaves CLOSE-WAIT, say, on the server side, changing from CLOSE-WAIT to LAST-ACK. Please note: there are two chances that old state of socket can be changed to CLOSE-WAIT in tcp_fin(). One is SYN-RECV, the other is ESTABLISHED. So we have to take care of the former case.
