      dccp: fix the adjustments to AWL and SWL · 0b53d460
      Gerrit Renker authored
      This fixes a problem and a potential loophole with regard to seqno/ackno
      validity: currently the initial adjustments to AWL/SWL are only performed
      once at the begin of the connection, during the handshake.
      
      Since the Sequence Window feature is always greater than Wmin=32 (7.5.2),
      it is however necessary to perform these adjustments at least for the first
      W/W' (variables as per 7.5.1) packets in the lifetime of a connection.
      
      This requirement is complicated by the fact that W/W' can change at any time
      during the lifetime of a connection.
      
      Therefore it is better to perform that safety check each time SWL/AWL are
      updated, as implemented by the patch.
      
      A second problem solved by this patch is that the remote/local Sequence Window
      feature values (which set the bounds for AWL/SWL/SWH) are undefined until the
      feature negotiation has completed.
      
      During the initial handshake we have more stringent sequence number protection;
      the changes added by this patch effect that {A,S}W{L,H} are within the correct
      bounds at the instant that feature negotiation completes (since the SeqWin
      feature activation handlers call dccp_update_gsr/gss()).
