[ 5/8] tcp: fix syncookie regression

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Mar 21 2012 - 17:18:11 EST


3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit dfd25ffffc132c00070eed64200e8950da5d7e9d ]

commit ea4fc0d619 (ipv4: Don't use rt->rt_{src,dst} in ip_queue_xmit())
added a serious regression on synflood handling.

Simon Kirby discovered a successful connection was delayed by 20 seconds
before being responsive.

In my tests, I discovered that xmit frames were lost, and needed ~4
retransmits and a socket dst rebuild before being really sent.

In case of syncookie initiated connection, we use a different path to
initialize the socket dst, and inet->cork.fl.u.ip4 is left cleared.

As ip_queue_xmit() now depends on inet flow being setup, fix this by
copying the temp flowi4 we use in cookie_v4_check().
