commit a9eeb998c28d5506616426bd3a216bd5735a18b8 upstream. Currently, hvsock does not implement any delayed or background close logic. Whenever the hvsock socket is closed, a FIN is sent to the peer, and the last reference to the socket is dropped, which leads to a call to .destruct where the socket can hang indefinitely waiting for the peer to close it's side. The can cause the user application to hang in the close() call. This change implements proper STREAM(TCP) closing handshake mechanism by sending the FIN to the peer and the waiting for the peer's FIN to arrive for a given timeout. On timeout, it will try to terminate the connection (i.e. a RST). This is in-line with other socket providers such as virtio. This change does not address the hang in the vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister where it waits indefinitely for the host to rescind the channel. That should be taken up as a separate fix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
