Issue: When a TCP socket in the CLOSE_WAIT state receives a RST packet, the current implementation does not clear the socket's receive queue. This causes SKBs in the queue to remain allocated until the socket is explicitly closed by the application. As a consequence: 1. The page pool pages held by these SKBs are not released.
On what kernel version and driver are you observing this?
