Subject: Please backport commit to 3.12+
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 17:21:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151106162119.GA23564@1wt.eu> (raw)
Hi,
We recently faced the issue described in the patch below on 3.14.56. This fix
was merged in 4.2-rc7. I checked Davem's queue and stable queue and it's not
there yet. Could we please have it in 3.12 and above ? (feature was introduced
in 3.11). I can confirm that it properly fixes the problem for us.
Mainline commit is :
commit 3c16241c445303a90529565e7437e1f240acfef2

netfilter: SYNPROXY: fix sending window update to client
Upon receipt of SYNACK from the server, ipt_SYNPROXY first sends back an ACK to
finish the server handshake, then calls nf_ct_seqadj_init() to initiate
sequence number adjustment of forwarded packets to the client and finally sends
a window update to the client to unblock it's TX queue.
Since synproxy_send_client_ack() does not set synproxy_send_tcp()'s nfct
parameter, no sequence number adjustment happens and the client receives the
window update with incorrect sequence number. Depending on client TCP
implementation, this leads to a significant delay (until a window probe is
being sent).
