AIT and TCP_LAST_ACK *might* be reported, and TCP_CLOSE is always reported. This rule 'b' above will sometimes be effective, but not reliably. When the client closes the connection, it used to result in TCP_FIN_WAIT1, TCP_FIN_WAIT2, TCP_CLOSE. However since commit f75e674 (SUNRPC: Fix the problem of EADDRNOTAVAIL syslog floods on reconnect) we don't see *any* events on client-close. I think this is because xs_restore_old_callbacks is called to disconnect xs_tcp_state_change before the socket is closed. In any case, rule 'a' no longer applies. So all that is left are rule d, which successfully doubles the timeout which is never rest, and rule e which initialises the timeout. Even if the rules worked as expected, there would be a problem because a successful connection does not reset the timeout, so a sequence of events where the server closes the connection (e.g. during failover testing) will cause longer and longer timeouts with no good reason. This patch: - sets reestablish_timeout to 0 in xs_close thus effecting rule 'a' - sets it to 0 in xs_tcp_data_ready to ensure that a successful connection resets the timeout - sets it to at least XS_TCP_INIT_REEST_TO after it is doubled, thus effecting rule c I have not reimplemented rule b and the new version of rule c seems sufficient. I suspect other code in xs_tcp_data_ready needs to be revised as well. For example I don't think connect_cookie is being incremented as often as it should be.
