netfilter: nf_conntrack_tcp: fixing to check the lower bound of valid ACK
Lost connections was reported by Thomas Bätzler (running 2.6.25 kernel) on the netfilter mailing list (see the thread "Weird nat/conntrack Problem with PASV FTP upload"). He provided tcpdump recordings which helped to find a long lingering bug in conntrack. In TCP connection tracking, checking the lower bound of valid ACK could lead to mark valid packets as INVALID because: - We have got a "higher or equal" inequality, but the test checked the "higher" condition only; fixed. - If the packet contains a SACK option, it could occur that the ACK value was before the left edge of our (S)ACK "window": if a previous packet from the other party intersected the right edge of the window of the receiver, we could move forward the window parameters beyond accepting a valid ack. Therefore in this patch we check the rightmost SACK edge instead of the ACK value in the lower bound of valid (S)ACK test.
