Subject: [PATCH] tcp: Set ACK flag on *all* RST segments, even for client in
|
|
SYN-SENT state
|
|
|
|
Somewhat curiously, RFC 9293, section 3.10.7.3, states:
|
|
|
|
If the state is SYN-SENT, then
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
Second, check the RST bit:
|
|
- If the RST bit is set,
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
o If the ACK was acceptable, then signal to the user "error:
|
|
connection reset", drop the segment, enter CLOSED state,
|
|
delete TCB, and return. Otherwise (no ACK), drop the
|
|
segment and return.
|
|
|
|
which matches verbatim RFC 793, pages 66-67, and is implemented as-is
|
|
by tcp_rcv_synsent_state_process() in the Linux kernel, that is:
|
|
|
|
/* No ACK in the segment */
|
|
|
|
if (th->rst) {
|
|
/* rfc793:
|
|
* "If the RST bit is set
|
|
*
|
|
* Otherwise (no ACK) drop the segment and return."
|
|
*/
|
|
|
|
goto discard_and_undo;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
meaning that if a client is in SYN-SENT state, and we send a RST
|
|
segment once we realise that we can't establish the outbound
|
|
connection, the client will ignore our segment and will need to
|
|
pointlessly wait until the connection times out instead of aborting
|
|
it right away.
|
|
|
|
The ACK flag on a RST, in this case, doesn't really seem to have any
|
|
function, but we must set it nevertheless. The ACK sequence number is
|
|
already correct because we always set it before calling
|
|
tcp_prepare_flags(), whenever relevant.
|
|
|
|
This leaves us with no cases where we should *not* set the ACK flag
|
|
on non-SYN segments, so always set the ACK flag for RST segments.
|
|
|
|
Note that non-SYN, non-RST segments were already covered by commit
|
|
4988e2b40631 ("tcp: Unconditionally force ACK for all !SYN, !RST
|
|
packets").
