    Subject[PATCH 4.4 08/28] tcp: fix tcp_mtu_probe() vs highest_sack
    Date
    4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

    From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>


    [ Upstream commit 2b7cda9c35d3b940eb9ce74b30bbd5eb30db493d ]

    Based on SNMP values provided by Roman, Yuchung made the observation
    that some crashes in tcp_sacktag_walk() might be caused by MTU probing.

    Looking at tcp_mtu_probe(), I found that when a new skb was placed
    in front of the write queue, we were not updating tcp highest sack.

    If one skb is freed because all its content was copied to the new skb
    (for MTU probing), then tp->highest_sack could point to a now freed skb.

    Bad things would then happen, including infinite loops.

    This patch renames tcp_highest_sack_combine() and uses it
    from tcp_mtu_probe() to fix the bug.

    Note that I also removed one test against tp->sacked_out,
    since we want to replace tp->highest_sack regardless of whatever
    condition, since keeping a stale pointer to freed skb is a recipe
    for disaster.

    Fixes: a47e5a988a57 ("[TCP]: Convert highest_sack to sk_buff to allow direct access")
