From 1a2391c30c0b9d041bc340f68df81d49c53546cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeffrey Altman Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2019 16:34:16 +0100 Subject: rxrpc: Fix detection of out of order acks The rxrpc packet serial number cannot be safely used to compute out of order ack packets for several reasons: 1. The allocation of serial numbers cannot be assumed to imply the order by which acks are populated and transmitted. In some rxrpc implementations, delayed acks and ping acks are transmitted asynchronously to the receipt of data packets and so may be transmitted out of order. As a result, they can race with idle acks. 2. Serial numbers are allocated by the rxrpc connection and not the call and as such may wrap independently if multiple channels are in use. In any case, what matters is whether the ack packet provides new information relating to the bounds of the window (the firstPacket and previousPacket in the ACK data). Fix this by discarding packets that appear to wind back the window bounds rather than on serial number procession.
