+Subject: net: tcp: accept old ack during closing
+
+From: Menglong Dong <menglong8.dong@gmail.com>
+
+commit 795a7dfbc3d95e4c7c09569f319f026f8c7f5a9c upstream.
+
+For now, the packet with an old ack is not accepted if we are in
+FIN_WAIT1 state, which can cause retransmission. Taking the following
+case as an example:
+
+ Client Server
+ | |
+ FIN_WAIT1(Send FIN, seq=10) FIN_WAIT1(Send FIN, seq=20, ack=10)
+ | |
+ | Send ACK(seq=21, ack=11)
+ Recv ACK(seq=21, ack=11)
+ |
+ Recv FIN(seq=20, ack=10)
+
+In the case above, simultaneous close is happening, and the FIN and ACK
+packet that send from the server is out of order. Then, the FIN will be
+dropped by the client, as it has an old ack. Then, the server has to
+retransmit the FIN, which can cause delay if the server has set the
+SO_LINGER on the socket.
+
+Old ack is accepted in the ESTABLISHED and TIME_WAIT state, and I think
+it should be better to keep the same logic.
+
+In this commit, we accept old ack in FIN_WAIT1/FIN_WAIT2/CLOSING/LAST_ACK
+states. Maybe we should limit it to FIN_WAIT1 for now?
