Do you have any more information? The only thing I could find online was that
there were SACK issues that were supposed to be fixed by 2.6.16; nothing
about a fix in 3.1 or post-3.1.


This was a typo on my part - 2.6.24-3.1, not 2.4


The specific commit that concerned me was this one. I had seen multiple
cases of odd behavior (basically tcp sacking like crazy until the cwr
collapses or a tcp reset) that I *think* this fix explains.



commit f779b2d60ab95c17f1e025778ed0df3ec2f05d75

    tcp: fix validation of D-SACK
   
    D-SACK is allowed to reside below snd_una. But the corresponding check
    in tcp_is_sackblock_valid() is the exact opposite. It looks like a typo.
