Fastopen API should be used to perform fastopen operations on the TCP
socket. It does not make sense to use fastopen API to perform disconnect
by calling it with AF_UNSPEC. The fastopen data path is also prone to
race conditions and bugs when using with AF_UNSPEC.
One issue reported and analyzed by Vegard Nossum is as follows:

Thread A: Thread B:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
sendto()
- tcp_sendmsg()
- sk_stream_memory_free() = 0
- goto wait_for_sndbuf
- sk_stream_wait_memory()
- sk_wait_event() // sleep
| sendto(flags=MSG_FASTOPEN, dest_addr=AF_UNSPEC)
| - tcp_sendmsg()
| - tcp_sendmsg_fastopen()
| - __inet_stream_connect()
| - tcp_disconnect() //because of AF_UNSPEC
| - tcp_transmit_skb()// send RST
| - return 0; // no reconnect!
| - sk_stream_wait_connect()
| - sock_error()
| - xchg(&sk->sk_err, 0)
| - return -ECONNRESET
- ... // wake up, see sk->sk_err == 0
- skb_entail() on TCP_CLOSE socket
If the connection is reopened then we will send a brand new SYN packet
after thread A has already queued a buffer. At this point I think the
socket internal state (sequence numbers etc.) becomes messed up.
When the new connection is closed, the FIN-ACK is rejected because the
sequence number is outside the window. The other side tries to
retransmit,
but __tcp_retransmit_skb() calls tcp_trim_head() on an empty skb which
corrupts the skb data length and hits a BUG() in copy_and_csum_bits().

Hence, this patch adds a check for AF_UNSPEC in the fastopen data path
and return EOPNOTSUPP to user if such case happens.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
