[PATCH 5.17 0701/1126] tcp: ensure PMTU updates are processed during fastopen

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Apr 05 2022 - 05:52:12 EST


From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ed0c99dc0f499ff8b6e75b5ae6092ab42be1ad39 ]

tp->rx_opt.mss_clamp is not populated, yet, during TFO send so we
rise it to the local MSS. tp->mss_cache is not updated, however:

tcp_v6_connect():
tp->rx_opt.mss_clamp = IPV6_MIN_MTU - headers;
tcp_connect():
tcp_connect_init():
tp->mss_cache = min(mtu, tp->rx_opt.mss_clamp)
tcp_send_syn_data():
tp->rx_opt.mss_clamp = tp->advmss

After recent fixes to ICMPv6 PTB handling we started dropping
PMTU updates higher than tp->mss_cache. Because of the stale
tp->mss_cache value PMTU updates during TFO are always dropped.

Thanks to Wei for helping zero in on the problem and the fix!
