3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5e8a402f831dbe7ee831340a91439e46f0d38acd ] Yuchung found following problem : There are bugs in the SACK processing code, merging part in tcp_shift_skb_data(), that incorrectly resets or ignores the sacked skbs FIN flag. When a receiver first SACK the FIN sequence, and later throw away ofo queue (e.g., sack-reneging), the sender will stop retransmitting the FIN flag, and hangs forever. Following packetdrill test can be used to reproduce the bug. $ cat sack-merge-bug.pkt `sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_fack=0` // Establish a connection and send 10 MSS. 0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 +.000 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 +.000 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0 +.000 listen(3, 1) = 0 +.050 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1000,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 7> +.000 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 6> +.001 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 1024 +.000 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4 +.100 write(4, ..., 12000) = 12000 +.000 shutdown(4, SHUT_WR) = 0 +.000 > . 1:10001(10000) ack 1 +.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257 +.000 > FP. 10001:12001(2000) ack 1 +.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257 <sack 10001:11001,nop,nop> +.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257 <sack 10001:12002,nop,nop> // SACK reneg +.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 12001 win 257 +0 %{ print "unacked: ",tcpi_unacked }% +5 %{ print "" }% First, a typo inverted left/right of one OR operation, then code forgot to advance end_seq if the merged skb carried FIN.
