[PATCH net-next v2] net: openvswitch: Be liberal in tcp conntrack.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Numan Siddique <nusiddiq@xxxxxxxxxx>

There is no easy way to distinguish if a conntracked tcp packet is
marked invalid because of tcp_in_window() check error or because
it doesn't belong to an existing connection. With this patch,
openvswitch sets liberal tcp flag for the established sessions so
that out of window packets are not marked invalid.

A helper function - nf_ct_set_tcp_be_liberal(nf_conn) is added which
sets this flag for both the directions of the nf_conn.
