From c969e2327197e1930a7378cc326ec1eef17c0509 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pengcheng Yang Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2020 12:33:26 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: fix "old stuff" D-SACK causing SACK to be treated as D-SACK [ Upstream commit c9655008e7845bcfdaac10a1ed8554ec167aea88 ] When we receive a D-SACK, where the sequence number satisfies: undo_marker <= start_seq < end_seq <= prior_snd_una we consider this is a valid D-SACK and tcp_is_sackblock_valid() returns true, then this D-SACK is discarded as "old stuff", but the variable first_sack_index is not marked as negative in tcp_sacktag_write_queue(). If this D-SACK also carries a SACK that needs to be processed (for example, the previous SACK segment was lost), this SACK will be treated as a D-SACK in the following processing of tcp_sacktag_write_queue(), which will eventually lead to incorrect updates of undo_retrans and reordering.
