Subject: [PATCH 4.14 02/43] tcp: purge write queue upon aborting the connection

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@...gle.com>


[ Upstream commit e05836ac07c77dd90377f8c8140bce2a44af5fe7 ]

When the connection is aborted, there is no point in
keeping the packets on the write queue until the connection
is closed.

Similar to a27fd7a8ed38 ('tcp: purge write queue upon RST'),
this is essential for a correct MSG_ZEROCOPY implementation,
because userspace cannot call close(fd) before receiving
zerocopy signals even when the connection is aborted.

Fixes: f214f915e7db ("tcp: enable MSG_ZEROCOPY")
