From 96e0bf4b5193d0d97d139f99e2dd128763d55521 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Dykstra Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2009 21:49:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: Discard segments that ack data not yet sent Discard incoming packets whose ack field iincludes data not yet sent. This is consistent with RFC 793 Section 3.9. Change tcp_ack() to distinguish between too-small and too-large ack field values. Keep segments with too-large ack fields out of the fast path, and change slow path to discard them. Reported-by: Oliver Zheng Signed-off-by: John Dykstra Signed-off-by: David S.
