tcp: accept RST without ACK flag
commit c3ae62af (tcp: should drop incoming frames without ACK flag set) added a regression on the handling of RST messages. RST should be allowed to come even without ACK bit set. We validate the RST by checking the exact sequence, as requested by RFC 793 and 5961 3.2, in tcp_validate_incoming() Reported-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Tested-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
