[ 18/53] tcp: fix infinite cwnd in tcp_complete_cwr()

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 1cebce36d660c83bd1353e41f3e66abd4686f215 ]

When the cwnd reduction is done, ssthresh may be infinite
if TCP enters CWR via ECN or F-RTO. If cwnd is not undone, i.e.,
undo_marker is set, tcp_complete_cwr() falsely set cwnd to the
infinite ssthresh value. The correct operation is to keep cwnd
intact because it has been updated in ECN or F-RTO.
