└─>INET: allow privileged process to administratively close sockets
In linux kernel since version 4.1 (release Date: 2015-06-21)
Provides a SOCK_DESTROY operation that allows privileged processes
(e.g., a connection manager or a network administration tool such as
ss) to close sockets opened by other processes. Closing a socket in
this way interrupts any blocking read/write/connect operations on
the socket and causes future socket calls to behave as if the socket
had been disconnected.
If unsure, say N.
