hi,
When the condition of tcp_win_from_space(skb->truesize) > skb->len is
true but the before(start, TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq) is also true, the final
condition will be true. The follow line:
int offset = start - TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq;
BUG_ON(offset < 0);
this BUG_ON will be triggered.


Follow line is my error logs:
