           Summary: shutdown(2) does not fully shut down socket any more
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.38
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: IPV4
        AssignedTo: shemminger@...ux-foundation.org
        ReportedBy: kees@...flux.net
        Regression: Yes


In 2.6.35 and earlier, shutdown(2) will fully remove a socket. This does not
appear to be true any more and is causing software to misbehave.

2.6.35:
$ ./testcase
parent: 5957
before:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:12345           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
after:
child: 5961
$ ./testcase
parent: 6001
before:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:12345           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
after:
child: 6002

2.6.38:
$ ./testcase
parent: 1138
before:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:12345           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
after:
child: 1142
$ ./testcase
bind: Address already in use

The listener doesn't show up in netstat any more, but as long as the child
process is running, the socket is unavailable. It is as if the shutdown(2)
behavior has partially reverted to close(2) behavior (but in the case of using
close(2), the child's socket would remain visible in netstat).
