This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tcp: Return user_mss for TCP_MAXSEG in CLOSE/LISTEN state if user_mss set to the 5.4-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: tcp-return-user_mss-for-tcp_maxseg-in-close-listen-s.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 023f8be6a04f25f46a0c2a31a1cf593bfa8f9d54 Author: Cambda Zhu <cambda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat May 27 12:03:17 2023 +0800 tcp: Return user_mss for TCP_MAXSEG in CLOSE/LISTEN state if user_mss set [ Upstream commit 34dfde4ad87b84d21278a7e19d92b5b2c68e6c4d ] This patch replaces the tp->mss_cache check in getting TCP_MAXSEG with tp->rx_opt.user_mss check for CLOSE/LISTEN sock. Since tp->mss_cache is initialized with TCP_MSS_DEFAULT, checking if it's zero is probably a bug. With this change, getting TCP_MAXSEG before connecting will return default MSS normally, and return user_mss if user_mss is set.
