Subject: tcp: properly scale window in tcp_v[46]_reqsk_send_ack()

From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 20a2b49fc538540819a0c552877086548cff8d8d ]

When sending an ack in SYN_RECV state, we must scale the offered window if wscale option was negotiated and accepted.

Tested:
Following packetdrill test demonstrates the issue :

0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0

+0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0
+0 listen(3, 1) = 0

// Establish a connection.
+0 < S 0:0(0) win 20000 <mss 1000,sackOK,wscale 7, nop, TS val 100 ecr 0> +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 win 28960 <mss 1460,sackOK, TS val 100 ecr 100, nop, wscale 7>

+0 < . 1:11(10) ack 1 win 156 <nop,nop,TS val 99 ecr 100> // check that window is properly scaled !
+0 > . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 226 <nop,nop,TS val 200 ecr 100>
