tcp: fix length used for checksum in a reset
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
While looking for some common code I came across difference
in checksum calculation between tcp_v6_send_(reset|ack) I
couldn't explain. I checked both v4 and v6 and found out that
both seem to have the same "feature". I couldn't find anything
in rfc nor anywhere else which would state that md5 option
should be ignored like it was in case of reset so I came to
a conclusion that this is probably a genuine bug. I suspect
that addition of md5 just was fooled by the excessive
copy-paste code in those functions and the reset part was
never tested well enough to find out the problem.
