Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: conntrack: don't refresh sctp entries in closed state
Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2022 13:13:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220128121332.16103-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)

Vivek Thrivikraman reported:
 An SCTP server application which is accessed continuously by client
 application.
 When the session disconnects the client retries to establish a connection.
 After restart of SCTP server application the session is not established
 because of stale conntrack entry with connection state CLOSED as below.

 (removing this entry manually established new connection):

 sctp 9 CLOSED src=10.141.189.233 [..]  [ASSURED]

Just skip timeout update of closed entries, we don't want them to
stay around forever.

Reported-and-tested-by: Vivek Thrivikraman <vivek.thrivikraman@est.tech>
Closes: https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1579
