Dear All, We are hitting the following WARN_ON condition:
WARN_ON((int)tcp_packets_in_flight(tp) < 0); tcp_packets_in_flight = packets_out –( lost_out + sacked_out ) + retrans_out (This value is coming -ve) The tcp socket being used is in fin_wait_1 state. The values for variables just before the crash: packets_out = 0, retrans_out = 28, lost_out = 38, sacked_out = 8 The only place I can find the packets_out value being set as 0 is: void tcp_write_queue_purge(struct sock *sk) { ... tcp_sk(sk)->packets_out = 0; inet_csk(sk)->icsk_backoff = 0; } Is there some code flow where packets_out can be set to 0 and other values can remain unchanged? If not, is there some scenario which may lead to "tcp_write_queue_purge" called and not followed up by "tcp_clear_retrans"? According to my understanding we should call "tcp_clear_retrans" after setting packets_out to 0.
