Thanks for the feedback. I'll send a v2 series tomorrow removing the redundant SYN_RECV check and replacing the test with a plain .pkt test that uses PAWS for the assertion. I've verified that the revised test detects the bug with unmodified packetdrill and passes with the simplified kernel fix. For the PAWS probe, I used TSval 300998 rather than 300999, since Linux's one-tick PAWS tolerance allows the latter through. I'll follow up with a separate packetdrill fix. How does that sound?
