[PATCH 1/4 v3] sctp: fix association hangs due to off-by-one errorsin sctp_tsnmap_grow()

From: Roberts, Lee A.
Date: Thu Feb 21 2013 - 13:24:51 EST


From: Lee A. Roberts <lee.roberts@xxxxxx>

Resolve SCTP association hangs observed during SCTP stress
testing. Observable symptoms include communications hangs
with data being held in the association lobby (ordering)
queue. Close examination of reassembly/ordering queues shows
duplicated packets.

In sctp_tsnmap_mark(), correct off-by-one error when calculating
gap value for tsnmap.

In sctp_tsnmap_grow(), correct off-by-one error when copying
and resizing the tsnmap. If max_tsn_seen is in the LSB of the
word, this bit can be lost, causing the corresponding packet
to be transmitted again and to be entered as a duplicate into
the SCTP reassembly/ordering queues.

Patch applies to linux-3.8 kernel.
