Userspace sends tcp connection (sock) destroy on network switch i.e switching the default network of the device between multiple networks(Cellular/Wifi/Ethernet). Kernel though doesn't send reset for the connections in SYN-SENT state and these connections continue to remain. Even as per RFC 793, there is no hard rule to not send RST on ABORT in this state. Modify tcp_abort and tcp_disconnect behavior to send RST for connections in syn-sent state to avoid lingering connections on network switch.

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. 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.
