Christoph Paasch sent a patch to address the following issue : tcp_make_synack() is leaving some TCP private info in skb->cb[], then send the packet by other means than tcp_transmit_skb() tcp_transmit_skb() makes sure to clear skb->cb[] to not confuse IPv4/IPV6 stacks, but we have no such cleanup for SYNACK. tcp_make_synack() should not use tcp_init_nondata_skb() : tcp_init_nondata_skb() really should be limited to skbs put in write/rtx queues (the ones that are only sent via tcp_transmit_skb()) This patch fixes the issue and should even save few cpu cycles ;) Fixes: 971f10ec ("tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line misses") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Christoph Paasch <cpaasch@apple.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Paasch <cpaasch@apple.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
