[ Upstream commit 845704a5 ] Presence of an unbound loop in tcp_send_fin() had always been hard to explain when analyzing crash dumps involving gigantic dying processes with millions of sockets. Lets try a different strategy : In case of memory pressure, try to add the FIN flag to last packet in write queue, even if packet was already sent. TCP stack will be able to deliver this FIN after a timeout event. Note that this FIN being delivered by a retransmit, it also carries a Push flag given our current implementation. By checking sk_under_memory_pressure(), we anticipate that cooking many FIN packets might deplete tcp memory. In the case we could not allocate a packet, even with __GFP_WAIT allocation, then not sending a FIN seems quite reasonable if it allows to get rid of this socket, free memory, and not block the process from eventually doing other useful work.
