Well, I have some good news and some bad news (the bad is mostly for Richar=
d).=0A=
The only message logged is:=0A=
  tcpflags 0x4<RST>; tcp_do_segment: Timestamp missing, segment processed n=
ormally=0A=
=0A=
But...the RST battle no longer occurs. Just one RST that works and then=0A=
the SYN gets SYN,ACK'd by the FreeBSD end and off it goes...=0A=
=0A=
So, what is different?=0A=
=0A=
r367492 is reverted from the FreeBSD server.=0A=
I did the revert because I think it might be what otis@ hang is being=0A=
caused by. (In his case, the Recv-Q grows on the socket for the=0A=
stuck Linux client, while others work.=0A=
=0A=
Why does reverting fix this?=0A=
My only guess is that the krpc gets the upcall right away and sees=0A=
a EPIPE when it does soreceive()->results in soshutdown(SHUT_WR).=0A=
I know from a printf that this happened, but whether it caused the=0A=
RST battle to not happen, I don't know.=0A=
=0A=
I can put r367492 back in and do more testing if you'd like, but=0A=
I think it probably needs to be reverted?=0A=
=0A=
This does not explain the original hung Linux client problem,=0A=
but does shed light on the RST war I could create by doing a=0A=
network partitioning.=0A=
