[ Upstream commit c7aab4f17021b636a0ee75bcf28e06fb7c94ab48 ]
Jaco Kroon reported tcp problems that Eric Dumazet and Neal Cardwell
pinpointed to nf_conntrack tcp_in_window() bug.
tcp trace shows following sequence:
I > R Flags [S], seq 3451342529, win 62580, options [.. tfo [|tcp]>
R > I Flags [S.], seq 2699962254, ack 3451342530, win 65535, options [..]
R > I Flags [P.], seq 1:89, ack 1, [..]
Note 3rd ACK is from responder to initiator so following branch is taken:
} else if (((state->state == TCP_CONNTRACK_SYN_SENT
&& dir == IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL)
|| (state->state == TCP_CONNTRACK_SYN_RECV
&& dir == IP_CT_DIR_REPLY))
&& after(end, sender->td_end)) {
... because state == TCP_CONNTRACK_SYN_RECV and dir is REPLY.
This causes the scaling factor to be reset to 0: window scale option
is only present in syn(ack) packets. This in turn makes nf_conntrack
mark valid packets as out-of-window.
This was always broken, it exists even in original commit where
window tracking was added to ip_conntrack (nf_conntrack predecessor)
in 2.6.9-rc1 kernel.
Restrict to 'tcph->syn', just like the 3rd condtional added in
commit 82b72cb94666 ("netfilter: conntrack: re-init state for retransmitted syn-ack").
Upon closer look, those conditionals/branches can be merged:
Because earlier checks prevent syn-ack from showing up in
original direction, the 'dir' checks in the conditional quoted above are
redundant, remove them. Return early for pure syn retransmitted in reply
direction (simultaneous open).
Fixes: 9fb9cbb1082d ("[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.")
