There's a new TCP regression in latest -git that triggers in
randconfig testing.

With the attached config i'm getting tons of these messages:

[ 32.751209] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets
[ 37.198307] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets
[ 42.464404] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets
[ 48.920392] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets
[ 56.370026] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets
[ 64.605937] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets

and it's not possible to ssh into the testbox, the TCP
connection hangs.

Before i put more effort into debugging this, is this bug
already known/fixed?

NOTE: the .config is randconfig generated so it might have a few
weird combinations of config options. One such thing i noticed
is !CONFIG_BUG, this produces at least one of the following
build warnings in the networking code:

net/core/ethtool.c:211:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]
net/core/dev.c:1892:33: warning: unused variable ‘null_features’ [-Wunused-variable]

net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:1333:18: note: ‘dst_ops’ was declared here

Note#2, the message should probably be fixed as well:

- TCP: too many of orphaned sockets
+ TCP: too many orphaned sockets

Thanks,

Ingo

Ingo,
mind sharing your config?

I haven't seen this, but I intend to run this against my recent patchseries and at least see if this is the culprit.

Thanks.
