From 9eb9362e569062e2f841b7a023e5fcde10ed63b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilpo Järvinen Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 23:18:20 +0000 Subject: tcp: miscounts due to tcp_fragment pcount reset MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit It seems that trivial reset of pcount to one was not sufficient in tcp_retransmit_skb. Multiple counters experience a positive miscount when skb's pcount gets lowered without the necessary adjustments (depending on skb's sacked bits which exactly), at worst a packets_out miscount can crash at RTO if the write queue is empty! Triggering this requires mss change, so bidir tcp or mtu probe or like. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen Reported-by: Markus Trippelsdorf Tested-by: Uwe Bugla Signed-off-by: David S.
