[PATCH nf v5] netfilter: seqadj: Fix the wrong ack adjust for the RST packet without ack

[fgao]

From: Gao Feng <fgao@ikuai8.com>

It is valid that the TCP RST packet which does not set ack flag, and bytes
of ack number are zero. But current seqadj codes would adjust the "0" ack
to invalid ack number. Actually seqadj need to check the ack flag before
adjust it for these RST packets.

The following is my test case

client is 10.26.98.245, and add one iptable rule:
iptables  -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 12345 -m connbytes --connbytes 2:
--connbytes-dir reply --connbytes-mode packets -j REJECT --reject-with
tcp-reset
This iptables rule could generate on TCP RST without ack flag.

server:10.172.135.55
Enable the synproxy with seqadjust by the following iptables rules
iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -d 10.172.135.55 --dport 12345
-m tcp --syn -j CT --notrack

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -d 10.172.135.55 --dport 12345 -m conntrack
--ctstate INVALID,UNTRACKED -j SYNPROXY --sack-perm --timestamp --wscale 7
--mss 1460
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -s 10.172.135.55 --sport 12345 -m conntrack
--ctstate INVALID,UNTRACKED -m tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN,ACK -j ACCEPT

The following is my test result.

1. packet trace on client
root@routers:/tmp# tcpdump -i eth0 tcp port 12345 -n

win 0, length 0

2. seqadj log on server
[62873.867319] Adjusting sequence number from 602341895->546723267,
ack from 3695959830->3695959830

[62873.869040] Adjusting sequence number from 3695959830->3695959830,
ack from 0->55618628

To summarize, it is clear that the seqadj codes adjust the 0 ack when receive
one TCP RST packet without ack.

Applied, thanks.
