    ipv6: tcp: send consistent autoflowlabel in SYN_RECV state · aa51b80e
    Eric Dumazet authored
    This is a followup of commit c67b8555 ("ipv6: tcp: send consistent
    autoflowlabel in TIME_WAIT state"), but for SYN_RECV state.
    
    In some cases, TCP sends a challenge ACK on behalf of a SYN_RECV request.
    WHen this happens, we want to use the flow label that was used when
    the prior SYNACK packet was sent, instead of another one.
    
    After his patch, following packetdrill passes:
    
        0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
       +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
       +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0
       +0 listen(3, 1) = 0
    
      +.2 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1000,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 7>
       +0 > (flowlabel 0x11) S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <...>
    // Test if a challenge ack is properly sent (same flowlabel than prior SYNACK)
       +.01 < . 4000000000:4000000000(0) ack 1 win 320
       +0  > (flowlabel 0x11) . 1:1(0) ack 1
