[PATCH] tcp_cubic: fix divide error when SYN flood

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Liu Yu <allanyuliu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b9f47a3aaeab (tcp_cubic: limit delayed_ack ratio to prevent
divide error) try to prevent divide error, but it still has a little
chance that delayed_ack can reach zero. In case machine sufferring
continuous SYN flood, the argument cnt could be big, and so that
ratio+cnt could get overflow and may happen to be zero. If so,
min(ratio, ACK_RATIO_LIMIT) will calculate to be zero.

The crash log may like this:
..
<6>[27536.083145] possible SYN flooding on port 8080. Sending cookies.
<6>[27596.092124] possible SYN flooding on port 8080. Sending cookies.
<6>[27656.109832] possible SYN flooding on port 8080. Sending cookies.
<0>[27676.940730] divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP
<0>[27676.987890] last sysfs file: /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/proc_name
