Currently when a DCTCP receiver delays an ACK and receive a data packet with a different CE mark from the previous one's, it sends two immediate ACKs acking previous and latest sequences respectly (for ECN accounting). Previously sending the first ACK may mark off the delayed ACK timer (tcp_event_ack_sent). This may subsequently prevent sending the second ACK to acknowledge the latest sequence (tcp_ack_snd_check). The culprit is that tcp_send_ack() assumes it always acknowleges the latest sequence, which is not true for the first special ACK. The fix is to not make the assumption in tcp_send_ack and check the actual ack sequence before cancelling the delayed ACK. Further it's safer to pass the ack sequence number as a local variable into tcp_send_ack routine, instead of intercepting tp->rcv_nxt to avoid future bugs like this.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
