This patch changes the handling of reconnects. At first we only close the connection related to the communication failure. If we get a new connection for an already existing connection we close the existing connection and take the new one. This patch improves significantly the stability of tcp connections while running "tcpkill -9 -i $IFACE port 21064" while generating a lot of dlm messages e.g. on a gfs2 mount with many files. My test setup shows that a deadlock is "more" unlikely. Before this patch I wasn't able to get not a deadlock after 5 seconds. After this patch my observation is that it's more likely to survive after 5 seconds and more, but still a deadlock occurs after certain time. My guess is that there are still "segments" inside the tcp writequeue or retransmit queue which get dropped when receiving a tcp reset [1]. Hard to reproduce because the right message need to be inside these queues, which might even be in the 5 first seconds with this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
