Sorry, I should have been more specific: say the connection has
already progressed to at least ESTABLISHED or beyond when the
ip_output() error occurs. So, we'll hit the TCPS_HAVERCVDSYN if block
below:
case EHOSTDOWN:
case EHOSTUNREACH:
case ENETDOWN:
case ENETUNREACH:
if (TCPS_HAVERCVDSYN(tp->t_state)) {
tp->t_softerror = error;
return (0);
}
Thanks,
Matt
