Ah. I recently changed some code that's now doing this on every socket at shutdown..
(simplified cut-n-paste)

        struct linger ling = { .l_onoff = FALSE, };

        for (i = 0; i < nr_sockets; i++) {
                fd = shm->sockets[i].fd;
                shm->sockets[i].fd = 0;

                setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, &ling, sizeof(struct linger));
                shutdown(fd, SHUT_RDWR);
                close(fd);
        }

I could just rip out that linger code completely and just hope that sockets staying in
TIME_WAIT is good enough. iirc, I added it when after multiple runs, some of the
weirder protocols would fail to open a socket once a certain number of existing
sockets had opened, even if they were in SOCK_WAIT

two remaining questions though. That code is setting linger to false. Why would
that cause the sk_lingertime to be taken into consideration ?  And why is this
only a problem for bluetooth (apparently) ?
