Nice !

A few comments/questions before the review:

* Did you test this with UDP too ?

* What happens if the the clock on the target machine differs from the
clock on the origin machine ?   (TCP timestamps)

* How confident are we that "bad" input in one or more fields, that
you don't currently sanitize, cannot create "bad" behavior ?  (bad can
be kernel crash, unauthorized behavior, DoS etc)

* How much does TCP rely on the validity of the info in the protocol
control block, and what sorts of bads can happen if it isn't ?  Would
TCP be still happy if the URG point is bogus, would it allow the user
to sent packets otherwise disallowed (to that user?), or maybe it
could crash the kernel ?

* In other words, how much input-sanity-logic is missing (if any) ?

* Can you please document (brief description) how the restart logic
works (listening parent socket etc) ?

* Do you intend to checkpoint (and collect) lingering sockets, that
is they are closed by the application so not references by any task,
but still sending data from their buffers ?

* I'd like to also preserve the "older" behavior - so the user can
choose to restart and reset all previous connections, keep listening
sockets (e.g. RESTART_DISCONNET).

Also, a couple nits inside below.

How about leaving this inside if the user explicitly requests so,
e.g. using a RESTART_DISCONNECT or something ?

I wonder if a user can use this to convince TCP to send some nasty
packets to some arbitrary destination, with specific seq-number or
what not ?

Which of the following list is safe to restore *as is*, and which
requires sanitation tests ?
