From c1e64e298b8cad309091b95d8436a0255c84f54a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lorenzo Colitti Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2015 12:30:05 +0900 Subject: net: diag: Support destroying TCP sockets. This implements SOCK_DESTROY for TCP sockets. It causes all blocking calls on the socket to fail fast with ECONNABORTED and causes a protocol close of the socket. It informs the other end of the connection by sending a RST, i.e., initiating a TCP ABORT as per RFC 793. ECONNABORTED was chosen for consistency with FreeBSD.
