3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit e371589917011efe6ff8c7dfb4e9e81934ac5855 ] Followup of commit 0c24604b68fc (tcp: implement RFC 5961 4.2) As reported by Vijay Subramanian, we should send a challenge ACK instead of a dup ack if a SYN flag is set on a packet received out of window. This permits the ratelimiting to work as intended, and to increase correct SNMP counters.
