This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: Update window_clamp if SOCK_RCVBUF is set to the 5.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-update-window_clamp-if-sock_rcvbuf-is-set.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Mon Nov 16 07:48:29 PM CET 2020 From: Mao Wenan <wenan.mao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2020 08:16:31 +0800 Subject: net: Update window_clamp if SOCK_RCVBUF is set From: Mao Wenan <wenan.mao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 909172a149749242990a6e64cb55d55460d4e417 ] When net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies=1 and syn flood is happened, cookie_v4_check or cookie_v6_check tries to redo what tcp_v4_send_synack or tcp_v6_send_synack did, rsk_window_clamp will be changed if SOCK_RCVBUF is set, which will make rcv_wscale is different, the client still operates with initial window scale and can overshot granted window, the client use the initial scale but local server use new scale to advertise window value, and session work abnormally.
