From afd67b681c8281cf91616bfa50cd140fd8bb1397 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2015 00:39:23 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: Do not apply TSO segment limit to non-TSO packets [ Upstream commit 843925f33fcc293d80acf2c5c8a78adf3344d49b ] Thomas Jarosch reported IPsec TCP stalls when a PMTU event occurs. In fact the problem was completely unrelated to IPsec. The bug is also reproducible if you just disable TSO/GSO. The problem is that when the MSS goes down, existing queued packet on the TX queue that have not been transmitted yet all look like TSO packets and get treated as such. This then triggers a bug where tcp_mss_split_point tells us to generate a zero-sized packet on the TX queue. Once that happens we're screwed because the zero-sized packet can never be removed by ACKs.
