It changes what happens during an active close. With SO_LINGER set, close(2) will block until the connection is finalized or the l_linger timeout is reached and the connection is aborted with a RST. The important detail is that once close(2) returns, the (re)transmit queue is purged, rather than being retried in the background. - Chris > > >>> Chris Leech <[email protected]> schrieb am 04.03.2016 um 06:00 in > >>> Nachricht > <[email protected]>: > > On Thu, Mar 03, 2016 at 07:09:14PM -0600, Mike Christie wrote: > >> On 03/03/2016 06:09 PM, Chris Leech wrote: > >> > When requests are being failed it's important to abort the TCP > >> > connection rather than let TCP wait and attempt a graceful shutdown. > >> > > >> > That can be accomplished by setting the SO_LINGER socket option with a > >> > linger time of 0 to drop queued data and close the connection with a RST > >> > instead of a FIN. > >> > > >> > Signed-off-by: Chris Leech <[email protected]> > >> > --- > >> > usr/io.c | 15 +++++++++++++++ > >> > 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) > >> > > >> > diff --git a/usr/io.c b/usr/io.c > >> > index f552e1e..48b233c 100644 > >> > --- a/usr/io.c > >> > +++ b/usr/io.c > >> > @@ -391,9 +391,24 @@ iscsi_io_tcp_poll(iscsi_conn_t *conn, int > >> > timeout_ms) > >> > void > >> > iscsi_io_tcp_disconnect(iscsi_conn_t *conn) > >> > { > >> > + struct linger so_linger = { .l_onoff = 1, .l_linger = 0 }; > >> > + > >> > if (conn->socket_fd >= 0) { > >> > log_debug(1, "disconnecting conn %p, fd %d", conn, > >> > conn->socket_fd); > >> > + > >> > + /* If the state is not IN_LOGOUT, this isn't a clean > >> > shutdown > >> > + * and there's some sort of error handling going on.
