Re: [v3.3-rc1 regression] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets

There's a new TCP regression in latest -git that triggers in
randconfig testing.

With the attached config i'm getting tons of these messages:

[   32.751209] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets
[   37.198307] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets
[   42.464404] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets
[   48.920392] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets
[   56.370026] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets
[   64.605937] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets

and it's not possible to ssh into the testbox, the TCP
connection hangs.

Before i put more effort into debugging this, is this bug
already known/fixed?

NOTE: the .config is randconfig generated so it might have a few
weird combinations of config options. One such thing i noticed
is !CONFIG_BUG, this produces at least one of the following
build warnings in the networking code:

net/core/ethtool.c:211:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]
net/core/dev.c:1892:33: warning: unused variable ‘null_features’ [-Wunused-variable]

Note#2, the message should probably be fixed as well:

  -   TCP: too many of orphaned sockets
  +   TCP: too many orphaned sockets

Thanks,

Ingo,
mind sharing your config?

I haven't seen this, but I intend to run this against my recent 
patchseries and at least see if this is the culprit.

Thanks.
