Merge branch 'tcp-exclude-old-acks-from-fast-path' Inbal Schussheim says: ==================== tcp: exclude old ACKs from fast path Exclude ACKs outside [SND.UNA, SND.NXT] from TCP header prediction so that they fall through to the slow path, where ACK validation is applied. Add a packetdrill test for a data segment carrying an excessively old ACK. The test fails on the unpatched kernel and passes with the fix. v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260909075644.1408171-1-inbal.lipshtat@mail.huji.ac.il/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260906123151.1391349-1-inbal.lipshtat@mail.huji.ac.il/T/#u ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260914090408.1435080-1-inbal.lipshtat@mail.huji.ac.il Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
