3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit bafbb9c73241760023d8981191ddd30bb1c6dbac ]
tcp_ack() can call tcp_fragment() which may dededuct the
value tp->fackets_out when MSS changes. When prior_fackets
is larger than tp->fackets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue() can
invoke tcp_update_reordering() with negative values. This
results in absurd tp->reodering values higher than
sysctl_tcp_max_reordering.
Note that tcp_update_reordering indeeds sets tp->reordering
to min(sysctl_tcp_max_reordering, metric), but because
the comparison is signed, a negative metric always wins.
Fixes: c7caf8d3ed7a ("[TCP]: Fix reord detection due to snd_una covered holes")
