[PATCH RFC net-next v2 5/5] selftests/net: packetdrill: add tcp_rcv_neg_window.pkt

From: Simon Baatz via B4 Relay

Date: Wed Feb 25 2026 - 19:52:41 EST


From: Simon Baatz <gmbnomis@xxxxxxxxx>

The test ensures we correctly apply the maximum advertised window limit
when rcv_nxt advances past rcv_mwnd_seq, so that the "usable window"
is properly clamped to zero rather than becoming negative.
