The SO_REUSEPORT option allows sockets to listen on the same port and to
accept connections evenly. However, there is a defect in the current
implementation [1]. When a SYN packet is received, the connection is tied
to a listening socket. Accordingly, when the listener is closed, in-flight
requests during the three-way handshake and child sockets in the accept
queue are dropped even if other listeners on the same port could accept
such connections.

One test is failing in CI ([0]), please take a look.

Thank you for checking.

The test needs to drop SYN+ACK and currently it is done by iptables or
ip6tables. But it seems that I should not use them. Should this be done
by XDP?

or drop it at a bpf_prog@tc-egress.

I also don't have iptables in my kconfig and I had to add them
to run this test.  None of the test_progs depends on iptables also.

Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
