Subject: [TCP] Probable bug in icsk_probes_out handling ?

Hello all

Apparently, we can in some situations reset TCP connections in a couple of seconds when some frames are lost.

In order to reproduce the problem, please try the following program on linux-2.6.25.* 

Setup some iptables rules to allow two frames per second sent on loopback interface to tcp destination port 12000

iptables -N SLOWLO
iptables -A SLOWLO -m hashlimit --hashlimit 2 --hashlimit-burst 1 --hashlimit-mode dstip --hashlimit-name slow2 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A SLOWLO -j DROP

iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp --dport 12000 -j SLOWLO


Then run the attached program and see the output :

# ./loop

While this tcp session makes progress (sending frames with 50 bytes of payload, every 500ms), linux tcp stack decides to reset it, when tcp_retries 2 is reached (default value : 15)
