tcp: avoid fragmenting peculiar skbs in SACK

yuchungcheng · davem330 · commit b451e5d24ba6 · 2017-05-11T21:35:20.000-04:00
This patch fixes a bug in splitting an SKB during SACK processing. Specifically if an skb contains multiple packets and is only partially sacked in the higher sequences, tcp_match_sack_to_skb() splits the skb and marks the second fragment as SACKed. The current code further attempts rounding up the first fragment to MSS boundaries. But it misses a boundary condition when the rounded-up fragment size (pkt_len) is exactly skb size. Spliting such an skb is pointless and causses a kernel warning and aborts the SACK processing. This patch universally checks such over-split before calling tcp_fragment to prevent these unnecessary warnings.
