[patch added to 3.12-stable] tcp: fix overflow in __tcp_retransmit_skb()

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

 



From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit ffb4d6c8508657824bcef68a36b2a0f9d8c09d10 ]

If a TCP socket gets a large write queue, an overflow can happen
in a test in __tcp_retransmit_skb() preventing all retransmits.

The flow then stalls and resets after timeouts.

Tested:

sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=1000000000
netperf -H dest -- -s 1000000000
