[PATCH net-next] netfilter: nf_conntrack_proto_tcp: fix typos in comments

From: Avinash Duduskar

Date: Tue May 12 2026 - 17:55:55 EST


Fix three typos in comments:

- "migth"/"Migth" -> "might" (two adjacent occurrences in the
tcp_conntracks[] state-transition table comment block).
- "agaist" -> "against" (tcp_error() header comment).
- "intrepretated" -> "interpreted" (RFC 5961 challenge-ACK
marker comment in nf_conntrack_tcp_packet()).
