[CRIU] [PATCH RFC 0/3] tcp: allow to repair a tcp connections in closing states

[Andrey Vagin]

Currently connections only in the TCP_ESTABLISHED state can be dumped and
restored. This series allows to restore connections in the FIN_WAIT_1,
FIN_WAIT_2, LAST_ACK, CLOSE_WAIT or CLOSING states.

For restoring closing states we need an ability to restore a fin packet
in a queue. In this series I suggest to use the interface of control
messages for that.

Here is an example of user-space code:

msg.msg_control = buf;
msg.msg_controllen = sizeof buf;
cmsg = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg);
cmsg->cmsg_level = SOL_TCP;
cmsg->cmsg_type = TCP_CMSG_SEND_FIN;
cmsg->cmsg_len = CMSG_LEN(0);
msg.msg_controllen = cmsg->cmsg_len;
if (sendmsg(sk, &msg, 0) < 0) {
	pr_perror("sendmsg");
	return -1;
}

Andrey Vagin (3):
  tcp: allow to enable repair mode for sockets in any state
  tcp: check repair before fastopen in tcp_sendmsg
  tcp: add ability to restore a fin packet
