Yuchung found following problem :

 There are bugs in the SACK processing code, merging part in
 tcp_shift_skb_data(), that incorrectly resets or ignores the sacked
 skbs FIN flag. When a receiver first SACK the FIN sequence, and later
 throw away ofo queue (e.g., sack-reneging), the sender will stop
 retransmitting the FIN flag, and hangs forever.

Following packetdrill test can be used to reproduce the bug.

$ cat sack-merge-bug.pkt
`sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_fack=0`

// Establish a connection and send 10 MSS.
0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
+.000 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
+.000 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0
+.000 listen(3, 1) = 0

+.050 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1000,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 7>
+.000 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 6>
+.001 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 1024
+.000 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4

+.100 write(4, ..., 12000) = 12000
+.000 shutdown(4, SHUT_WR) = 0
+.000 > . 1:10001(10000) ack 1
+.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257
+.000 > FP. 10001:12001(2000) ack 1
+.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257 <sack 10001:11001,nop,nop>
+.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 2001 win 257 <sack 10001:12002,nop,nop>
// SACK reneg
+.050 < . 1:1(0) ack 12001 win 257
+0 %{ print "unacked: ",tcpi_unacked }%
+5 %{ print "" }%


First, a typo inverted left/right of one OR operation, then
code forgot to advance end_seq if the merged skb carried FIN.

Bug was added in 2.6.29 by commit 832d11c5cd076ab
("tcp: Try to restore large SKBs while SACK processing")

Nice that it was finally found. For some reason my memory tries to say 
that it wouldn't have not even tried to merge skbs with FIN but either
I changed that at some point while deving or I just remember wrong.
