[ Upstream commit30791ac419] The MD5-key that belongs to a connection is identified by the peer's IP-address. When we are in tcp_v4(6)_reqsk_send_ack(), we are replying to an incoming segment from tcp_check_req() that failed the seq-number checks. Thus, to find the correct key, we need to use the skb's saddr and not the daddr. This bug seems to have been there since quite a while, but probably got unnoticed because the consequences are not catastrophic. We will call tcp_v4_reqsk_send_ack only to send a challenge-ACK back to the peer, thus the connection doesn't really fail. Fixes:9501f97229("tcp md5sig: Let the caller pass appropriate key for tcp_v{4,6}_do_calc_md5_hash().")

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.
