Yes. This SACK seems to be totally out of range and may be causing the problem.
I would expect the following check in sctp_sf_eat_sack_6_2() to drop any SACKs
with CTSN value lower than the earlier SACKs.
/* i) If Cumulative TSN Ack is less than the Cumulative TSN
* Ack Point, then drop the SACK. Since Cumulative TSN
* Ack is monotonically increasing, a SACK whose
* Cumulative TSN Ack is less than the Cumulative TSN Ack
* Point indicates an out-of-order SACK.
*/
if (TSN_lt(ctsn, asoc->ctsn_ack_point)) {
SCTP_DEBUG_PRINTK("ctsn %x\n", ctsn);
SCTP_DEBUG_PRINTK("ctsn_ack_point %x\n", asoc->ctsn_ack_point);
return SCTP_DISPOSITION_DISCARD;
}
