Description
Joyent saw a panic in the field. Here is our analysis:
> ::status debugging crash dump vmcore.1 (64-bit) from xxxxxx operating system: 5.11 joyent_20110922T212927Z (i86pc) image uuid: (not set) panic message: BAD TRAP: type=e (#pf Page fault) rp=ffffff00b8fb3750 addr=28 occurred in module "ip" due to a NULL pointer dereference dump content: kernel pages only > $C ffffff00b8fb38b0 conn_ip_output+0x4b(ffffff1a38f73de0, ffffff19f0706b00) ffffff00b8fb3930 tcp_ss_rexmit+0x191(ffffff19f07053c0) ffffff00b8fb3950 tcp_rexmit_after_error+0x82(ffffff19f07053c0) ffffff00b8fb39a0 tcp_icmp_input+0x1d2(ffffff19f07050c0, ffffff1a38f568a0, ffffff199f447c80, ffffff00b8fb39f0) ffffff00b8fb3bc0 squeue_drain+0x1f8(ffffff199f447c80, 2, 129ccb0ec34dc) ffffff00b8fb3c20 squeue_worker+0x132(ffffff199f447c80) ffffff00b8fb3c30 thread_start+8() > ffffff19f07053c0::print tcp_t tcp_state tcp_state = 0xfffffffa >::print tcp_t tcp_state | =D -6
State -6 corresponds to a closed TCP connection.

This conn_state corresponds to CONN_CLOSED and CONN_CONDEMNED.
From here we basically can see that we had already closed our TCP connection. However, despite that we were trying to send on a TCP packet. The fix here is that tcp_icmp_input() should check whether or not the TCP connection is closed and if so, we should drop the packet.
