Research direction
Read the TCP code near kernel-src/io/net/tcp.c around the linked TODO at line 727; the issue says that TODO is stale, so first trace where CLOSEWAIT is handled. Determine how the current behavior treats CLOSEWAIT as a hang up and what behavior should distinguish it. Done means CLOSEWAIT is no longer treated as a full hang up; the issue names no test, so locate relevant TCP tests or reproduce the behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Note that the TODO is stale at this location but the borader issue remains.
