Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@....inr.ac.ru>, Hideaki YOSHIFUJI <yoshfuji@...ux-ipv6.org>, Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, enkechen2020@...il.com Subject: [PATCH] tcp: keepalive fixes From: Enke Chen <enchen@...oaltonetworks.com> In this patch two issues with TCP keepalives are fixed: 1) TCP keepalive does not timeout when there are data waiting to be delivered and then the connection got broken. The TCP keepalive timeout is not evaluated in that condition. The fix is to remove the code that prevents TCP keepalive from being evaluated for timeout. 2) With the fix for #1, TCP keepalive can erroneously timeout after the 0-window probe kicks in. The 0-window probe counter is wrongly applied to TCP keepalives. The fix is to use the elapsed time instead of the 0-window probe counter in evaluating TCP keepalive timeout.
