STALE1794d SUPERSEDED: 1 (1M)

From: Maxim Mikityanskiy <hidden>
Date: 2021-10-19 14:48:19
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds

Status: Superseded by v10 (posted 2022-06-15). [go to v10]

Revision v1 (9 revisions archived); 1 review trailer.

Revisions (9)
bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie and bpf_tcp_check_syncookie expect the full length
of the TCP header (with all extensions). Fix the documentation that says
it should be sizeof(struct tcphdr).
