The branch stable/11 has been updated by hselasky: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=e3d9b9cc02b6e00858526d302c82bfa1dbeb87ee commit e3d9b9cc02b6e00858526d302c82bfa1dbeb87ee Author: Hans Petter Selasky <hselasky@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2021-02-22 10:58:46 +0000 Commit: Hans Petter Selasky <hselasky@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2021-03-03 09:51:48 +0000 MFC 9febbc454190: Fix for natd(8) sending wrong sequence number after TCP retransmission, terminating a TCP connection. If a TCP packet must be retransmitted and the data length has changed in the retransmitted packet, due to the internal workings of TCP, typically when ACK packets are lost, then there is a 30% chance that the logic in GetDeltaSeqOut() will find the correct length, which is the last length received. This can be explained as follows: If a "227 Entering Passive Mode" packet must be retransmittet and the length changes from 51 to 50 bytes, for example, then we have three cases for the list scan in GetDeltaSeqOut(), depending on how many prior packets were received modulus N_LINK_TCP_DATA=3: case 1: index 0: original packet 51 index 1: retransmitted packet 50 index 2: not relevant case 2: index 0: not relevant index 1: original packet 51 index 2: retransmitted packet 50 case 3: index 0: retransmitted packet 50 index 1: not relevant index 2: original packet 51 This patch simply changes the searching order for TCP packets, always starting at the last received packet instead of any received packet, in GetDeltaAckIn() and GetDeltaSeqOut(). Else no functional changes.
