[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] slirp: Propagate host TCP RST packet to the guest after socket disconnected

[Gavin Grant]

Commit 27d92ebc5ed1bb0b518d0ebc4c609182ad20a799 handled the case where the TCP
connection is abruptly closed via a RST packet, by checking for the ECONNRESET
errno. However it does not consider the case where the connection has been
half-closed by the host (FIN/ACK), then the host socket is disconnected. For
example, if the host application calls close() on the socket, then the
application exits.

In this case, the socket still exists due to the file descriptor in SLIRP, but
it is disconnected. recv() does not indicate an error since an orderly socket
close has previously occurred. The socket will then be stuck in FIN_WAIT_2,
until the peer sends FIN/ACK or a timeout occurs. Instead we can send a RST
to the peer and transition to the CLOSED state.
