    tcp: count CLOSE-WAIT sockets for TCP_MIB_CURRESTAB · a46d0ea5
    Jason Xing authored
    According to RFC 1213, we should also take CLOSE-WAIT sockets into
    consideration:
    
      "tcpCurrEstab OBJECT-TYPE
       ...
       The number of TCP connections for which the current state
       is either ESTABLISHED or CLOSE- WAIT."
    
    After this, CurrEstab counter will display the total number of
    ESTABLISHED and CLOSE-WAIT sockets.
    
    The logic of counting
    When we increment the counter?
    a) if we change the state to ESTABLISHED.
    b) if we change the state from SYN-RECEIVED to CLOSE-WAIT.
    
    When we decrement the counter?
    a) if the socket leaves ESTABLISHED and will never go into CLOSE-WAIT,
    say, on the client side, changing from ESTABLISHED to FIN-WAIT-1.
    b) if the socket leaves CLOSE-WAIT, say, on the server side, changing
    from CLOSE-WAIT to LAST-ACK.
    
    Please note: there are two chances that old state of socket can be changed
    to CLOSE-WAIT in tcp_fin(). One is SYN-RECV, the other is ESTABLISHED.
    So we have to take care of the former case.
