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
