From 87b11e0638c3dbf029a7c9020f8a779062db58fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski Date: Mon, 3 Jun 2019 15:17:00 -0700 Subject: net/tls: remove false positive warning It's possible that TCP stack will decide to retransmit a packet right when that packet's data gets acked, especially in presence of packet reordering. This means that packets may be in flight, even though tls_device code has already freed their record state. Make fill_sg_in() and in turn tls_sw_fallback() not generate a warning in that case, and quietly proceed to drop such frames. Make the exit path from tls_sw_fallback() drop monitor friendly, for users to be able to troubleshoot dropped retransmissions.
