Subject: tcp_recv_skb, tcp_read_sock and tcp_recvmsg useless check ?
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 13:02:47 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031023110247.55464.qmail@web11102.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hi, 

If we have a look at tcp_recv_skb, and
tcp_read_sock(),

we notice that there is a SYN check, and if the flag
is on, we do offset-- (sequence number not
corresponding to real data byte). 

This Syn check is useless, as the function cannot be
called at the beginning of a connection (since we have
not copied_seq filled with the last sequence number of
the last packet passed to the upper layer)
 
What do you think of that ?
