<id>urn:sha1:6a7e91f890eceb4fd9d3662e7ffba1fcb55cc00e</id>
<content type='text'>
Drive a connection into urgent mode and force a multi-segment retransmit,
checking that each retransmitted segment keeps its own urg_ptr.

The test asserts the fixed behaviour: the hole is retransmitted as two
independent skbs, each with its own urg_ptr (5001 and 4001) and no PSH.
An unpatched kernel instead sends one super-skb whose GSO split copies
urg_ptr onto the second segment and also sets PSH there, so on an unpatched
kernel the mismatch shows up on the PSH bit (actual P.U ... urg 5001) before
the urg_ptr:

	tcp_urg_ptr_retransmit.pkt:63: live packet field tcp_psh:
		expected: 0 (0x0) vs actual: 1 (0x1)
	script packet:  .U 1001:2001(1000) ack 1
	actual packet:  P.U 1001:2001(1000) ack 1 win 1050

After the fix the retransmit carries a per-segment urg_ptr and the test
passes.

<content type='text'>
The combination of checksum offload disabled (that causes software GSO)
and a debug kernel is inherently slow. Depending on the CPU power and
load, RTT may increase, limiting sk_pacing_rate, so tcp_tso_autosize
caps SKBs at around 40 segments, and zero BIG TCP packets are produced.

Increase sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_min_tso_segs and set a bigger initial value
of CWND in these configurations to force BIG TCP.

With checksum offload disabled, much fewer BIG TCP packets are generated
due to overall loss of throughput. Use a separate threshold in these
tests, which is 1/10 of the threshold set for the rest of tests.

Debug kernels on upstream CI runners run slower and generate fewer BIG
TCP packets, making the test flaky on upstream CI runners. Lower the
default threshold for those kernels.

main() never checks fork() for failure.  When fork() returns -1
(EAGAIN/ENOMEM/RLIMIT_NPROC), the !child_pid test is false and the
process falls into server()'s infinite accept() loop with no client ever
connecting, producing empty output.  The wrapper script treats an
empty log as a passing test, producing a false positive.

Check fork() for failure with error(), as is done for every other
syscall in this file.

<title>selftests/net: fix kill() argument order and wrapper cleanup in fin_ack_lat</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2d83aa65dc983368ce14f1a1daa05ca56d38ab5c</id>
<content type='text'>
sig_handler() passes its arguments to kill() in the wrong order: it sends
signal number child_pid to PID SIGTERM (15) instead of sending SIGTERM
to the client process.  The call therefore always fails and the signal
is never forwarded: when only the server process receives SIGTERM, the
client keeps running its infinite connect loop as an orphan process.

Swap the arguments so that the server forwards SIGTERM to the client.
Guard the call with child_pid &gt; 0: the client inherits the handler and
sees child_pid == 0, and a plain argument swap would make it call
kill(0, SIGTERM), signaling the whole process group instead of exiting
quietly.

Now that the server actually terminates the client before the wrapper
script's cleanup runs, kill() may fail with ESRCH for the already-exited
client.  The script uses set -e, so make the kill tolerant to avoid
aborting the EXIT trap and leaking temporary files.
