tcp: fix tcp_match_skb_to_sack() for unaligned SACK at end of an skb
[ Upstream commit 2cd0d743b05e87445c54ca124a9916f22f16742e ]
If there is an MSS change (or misbehaving receiver) that causes a SACK
to arrive that covers the end of an skb but is less than one MSS, then
tcp_match_skb_to_sack() was rounding up pkt_len to the full length of
the skb ("Round if necessary..."), then chopping all bytes off the skb
and creating a zero-byte skb in the write queue.
This was visible now because the recently simplified TLP logic in
bef1909ee3ed1c ("tcp: fixing TLP's FIN recovery") could find that 0-byte
skb at the end of the write queue, and now that we do not check that
skb's length we could send it as a TLP probe.
Consider the following example scenario:
mss: 1000
skb: seq: 0 end_seq: 4000 len: 4000
SACK: start_seq: 3999 end_seq: 4000
The tcp_match_skb_to_sack() code will compute:
in_sack = false
pkt_len = start_seq - TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq = 3999 - 0 = 3999
new_len = (pkt_len / mss) * mss = (3999/1000)*1000 = 3000
new_len += mss = 4000
Previously we would find the new_len > skb->len check failing, so we
would fall through and set pkt_len = new_len = 4000 and chop off
pkt_len of 4000 from the 4000-byte skb, leaving a 0-byte segment
afterward in the write queue.
With this new commit, we notice that the new new_len >= skb->len check
succeeds, so that we return without trying to fragment.
Fixes: adb92db857ee ("tcp: Make SACK code to split only at mss boundaries")
