[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix connection reopening
With your description I could reproduce the bug and actually you were
completely right: the code above is incorrect. Somehow I was able to
misread RFC1122 and mixed the roles :-(:
When a connection is >>closed actively<<, it MUST linger in
TIME-WAIT state for a time 2xMSL (Maximum Segment Lifetime).
However, it MAY >>accept<< a new SYN from the remote TCP to
reopen the connection directly from TIME-WAIT state, if it:
[...]
The fix is as follows: if the receiver initiated an active close, then the
sender may reopen the connection - otherwise try to figure out if we hold
a dead connection.
