[PATCH 021/104] tcp: tcp_make_synack() should use sock_wmalloc

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Thu Oct 10 2013 - 12:13:59 EST


3.8.13.11 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Phil Oester <kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit eb8895debe1baba41fcb62c78a16f0c63c21662a upstream.

In commit 90ba9b19 (tcp: tcp_make_synack() can use alloc_skb()), Eric changed
the call to sock_wmalloc in tcp_make_synack to alloc_skb. In doing so,
the netfilter owner match lost its ability to block the SYNACK packet on
outbound listening sockets. Revert the change, restoring the owner match
functionality.

This closes netfilter bugzilla #847.
