[PATCH 3.11 04/66] tcp: do not forget FIN in tcp_shifted_skb()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 5e8a402f831dbe7ee831340a91439e46f0d38acd ]

Yuchung found following problem :

 There are bugs in the SACK processing code, merging part in
 tcp_shift_skb_data(), that incorrectly resets or ignores the sacked
 skbs FIN flag. When a receiver first SACK the FIN sequence, and later
 throw away ofo queue (e.g., sack-reneging), the sender will stop
 retransmitting the FIN flag, and hangs forever.

Following packetdrill test can be used to reproduce the bug.

$ cat sack-merge-bug.pkt
`sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_fack=0`

// Establish a connection and send 10 MSS.
0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
+.000 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
+.000 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0
+.000 listen(3, 1) = 0

+.050 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1000,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 7>
+.000 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 6>
+.001 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 1024
+.000 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4

+.100 write(4, ..., 12000) = 12000
+.000 shutdown(4, SHUT_WR) = 0
+.000 > . 1:10001(10000) ack 1
+.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257
+.000 > FP. 10001:12001(2000) ack 1
+.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257 <sack 10001:11001,nop,nop>
+.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257 <sack 10001:12002,nop,nop>
// SACK reneg
+.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 12001 win 257
+0 %{ print "unacked: ",tcpi_unacked }%
+5 %{ print "" }%

First, a typo inverted left/right of one OR operation, then
code forgot to advance end_seq if the merged skb carried FIN.

Bug was added in 2.6.29 by commit 832d11c5cd076ab
("tcp: Try to restore large SKBs while SACK processing")
