In the net-next sits a patch which extends the sock-diag subsys to
show the sockets' shutdown state. I propose to teach the ss tool to
print this info when requested with -e|--extended key.
The output will look like arrows at the end of each line, like this:
ESTAB 0 0 127.0.0.1:41705 127.0.0.1:12345 ino:143321 sk:ffff88003a8cea00 -->
ESTAB 0 0 127.0.0.1:46925 127.0.0.1:12346 ino:143322 sk:ffff88003a8ce4c0 <--
ESTAB 0 0 127.0.0.1:51678 127.0.0.1:12347 ino:143323 sk:ffff88003a8cdf80 ---
ESTAB 0 0 127.0.0.1:46911 127.0.0.1:12348 ino:143324 sk:ffff88003b7f05c0 <->
for SHUT_RD, SHUT_WR, SHUT_RDWR and non-shutdown sockets respectively.
In order to do so, it's also required to implement support for the
newer sock-diag in tcp and udp netlink code. I did it before, but
broke compatibility with older kernels (those without sock-diag).
Now this is fixed (checked on 2.6.40 kernel).
