3.16.48-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit b451e5d24ba6687c6f0e7319c727a709a1846c06 upstream.
This patch fixes a bug in splitting an SKB during SACK
processing. Specifically if an skb contains multiple
packets and is only partially sacked in the higher sequences,
tcp_match_sack_to_skb() splits the skb and marks the second fragment
as SACKed.
The current code further attempts rounding up the first fragment
to MSS boundaries. But it misses a boundary condition when the
rounded-up fragment size (pkt_len) is exactly skb size. Spliting
such an skb is pointless and causses a kernel warning and aborts
the SACK processing. This patch universally checks such over-split
before calling tcp_fragment to prevent these unnecessary warnings.
Fixes: adb92db857ee ("tcp: Make SACK code to split only at mss boundaries")
