Currently, we use length of DSACKed range to compute number of delivered packets. And if sequence range in DSACK is corrupted, we can get bogus dsacked/acked count, and bogus cwnd. This patch put bounds on DSACKed range to skip update of data delivery and spurious retransmission information, if the DSACK is unlikely caused by sender's action: - DSACKed range shouldn't be greater than maximum advertised rwnd. - Total no. of DSACKed segments shouldn't be greater than total no. of retransmitted segs. Unlike spurious retransmits, network duplicates or corrupted DSACKs shouldn't be counted as delivery.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
