    dccp: fix the adjustments to AWL and SWL · 0b53d460
    Gerrit Renker 提交于
    This fixes a problem and a potential loophole with regard to seqno/ackno
    validity: currently the initial adjustments to AWL/SWL are only performed
    once at the begin of the connection, during the handshake.
    
    Since the Sequence Window feature is always greater than Wmin=32 (7.5.2),
    it is however necessary to perform these adjustments at least for the first
    W/W' (variables as per 7.5.1) packets in the lifetime of a connection.
    
    This requirement is complicated by the fact that W/W' can change at any time
    during the lifetime of a connection.
    
    Therefore it is better to perform that safety check each time SWL/AWL are
    updated, as implemented by the patch.
    
    A second problem solved by this patch is that the remote/local Sequence Window
    feature values (which set the bounds for AWL/SWL/SWH) are undefined until the
    feature negotiation has completed.
    
    During the initial handshake we have more stringent sequence number protection;
    the changes added by this patch effect that {A,S}W{L,H} are within the correct
    bounds at the instant that feature negotiation completes (since the SeqWin
    feature activation handlers call dccp_update_gsr/gss()).
