From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> Jakub Jankowski reported following oddity: After 3 way handshake completes, timeout of new connection is set to max_retrans (300s) instead of established (5 days). shortened excerpt from pcap provided: 25.070622 IP (flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 52) 10.8.5.4.1025 > 10.8.1.2.80: Flags [S], seq 11, win 64240, [wscale 8] 26.070462 IP (flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 48) 10.8.1.2.80 > 10.8.5.4.1025: Flags [S.], seq 82, ack 12, win 65535, [wscale 3] 27.070449 IP (flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 40) 10.8.5.4.1025 > 10.8.1.2.80: Flags [.], ack 83, win 512, length 0 Turns out the last_win is of u16 type, but we store the scaled value: 512 << 8 (== 0x20000) becomes 0 window. The Fixes tag is not correct, as the bug has existed forever, but without that change all that this causes might cause is to mistake a window update (to-nonzero-from-zero) for a retransmit.
