After investigating, this affects keepalives for any connection where sync_socket_options is called on a socket that is in the closed or listening state. Joins are handled properly. For connects, sync_socket_options is called when the socket is still in the closed state. The tcp_set_keepalive() function does not act on sockets that are closed or listening, hence keepalive is not immediately enabled. Since the SO_KEEPOPEN flag is absent, it is not enabled later in the connect sequence via tcp_finish_connect. Setting the keepalive via sockopt after connect does work, but would not address any subsequently created flows. Fortunately, the fix here is straight-forward: set SOCK_KEEPOPEN on the subflow when calling sync_socket_options. The fix was valdidated both by using tcpdump to observe keepalive packets not being sent before the fix, and being sent after the fix. It was also possible to observe via ss that the keepalive timer was not enabled on these sockets before the fix, but was enabled afterwards.
