Michal Kubecek 95b4b71144 net: ipv4: do not handle duplicate fragments as overlapping
[ Upstream commit ade446403bfb79d3528d56071a84b15351a139ad ]

Since commit 7969e5c40dfd ("ip: discard IPv4 datagrams with overlapping
segments.") IPv4 reassembly code drops the whole queue whenever an
overlapping fragment is received. However, the test is written in a way
which detects duplicate fragments as overlapping so that in environments
with many duplicate packets, fragmented packets may be undeliverable.

Add an extra test and for (potentially) duplicate fragment, only drop the
new fragment rather than the whole queue. Only starting offset and length
are checked, not the contents of the fragments as that would be too
expensive. For similar reason, linear list ("run") of a rbtree node is not
iterated, we only check if the new fragment is a subset of the interval
covered by existing consecutive fragments.

v2: instead of an exact check iterating through linear list of an rbtree
node, only check if the new fragment is subset of the "run" (suggested
by Eric Dumazet)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
