tcp: improve SEG.SEQ validation for RST segments
A RST segment can be sent in response to (a) received segment or (b) by the upper layer protocol. The SEG.SEQ validation consists of two checks: (1) the in-window check of SEG.SEQ and (2) the exact match check of SEG.SEQ. For the in-window check (1), the left edge of the window needs to be based on tp->last_ack_sent to cover the delayed ACK case, whereas the right edge needs to be based on tp->rcv_nxt + tp->rcv_wnd. This both assumes that tp->rcv_wnd is not zero. For the special case of tp->rcv_wnd being zero, add checks against tp->last_ack_sent for (a) and on tp->rcv_nxt for (b). This applies to all TCP stacks. When the exact match (2) of SEG.SEQ is performed, it should be based on tp->last_ack_sent for (a) and on tp->rcv_nxt for (b). To cover both, check for both. Add this only to the base stack, since the RACK and BBR stacks already do this. PR: 296594 Reviewed by: rscheff MFC after: 3 days MFC to: stable/14 MFC to: stable/15 Sponsored by: Netflix, Inc.
