Subject: [PATCH 3.2 003/106] tcp: avoid fragmenting peculiar skbs in SACK

3.2.93-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@...gle.com>

commit b451e5d24ba6687c6f0e7319c727a709a1846c06 upstream.

This patch fixes a bug in splitting an SKB during SACK
processing. Specifically if an skb contains multiple
packets and is only partially sacked in the higher sequences,
tcp_match_sack_to_skb() splits the skb and marks the second fragment
as SACKed.

The current code further attempts rounding up the first fragment
to MSS boundaries. But it misses a boundary condition when the
rounded-up fragment size (pkt_len) is exactly skb size.  Spliting
such an skb is pointless and causses a kernel warning and aborts
the SACK processing. This patch universally checks such over-split
before calling tcp_fragment to prevent these unnecessary warnings.

Fixes: adb92db857ee ("tcp: Make SACK code to split only at mss boundaries")
