From 39460cfb25adbafd7141a79b8f51769daacaa0d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baruch Even Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2007 13:16:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] TCP: Fix sorting of SACK blocks. The sorting of SACK blocks actually munges them rather than sort, causing the TCP stack to ignore some SACK information and breaking the assumption of ordered SACK blocks after sorting. The sort takes the data from a second buffer which isn't moved causing subsequent data moves to occur from the wrong location. The fix is to use a temporary buffer as a normal sort does.
