From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2017 19:30:25 +0000 (-0700) Subject: tcp: do not mangle skb->cb[] in tcp_make_synack() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3b11775033dc87c3d161996c54507b15ba26414a;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git tcp: do not mangle skb->cb[] in tcp_make_synack() Christoph Paasch sent a patch to address the following issue : tcp_make_synack() is leaving some TCP private info in skb->cb[], then send the packet by other means than tcp_transmit_skb() tcp_transmit_skb() makes sure to clear skb->cb[] to not confuse IPv4/IPV6 stacks, but we have no such cleanup for SYNACK. tcp_make_synack() should not use tcp_init_nondata_skb() : tcp_init_nondata_skb() really should be limited to skbs put in write/rtx queues (the ones that are only sent via tcp_transmit_skb()) This patch fixes the issue and should even save few cpu cycles ;) Fixes: 971f10eca186 ("tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line misses") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reported-by: Christoph Paasch Reviewed-by: Christoph Paasch Signed-off-by: David S.
