| - | == Solved with cleaning pin connectors == | + | Which is at lease happened in HTTP while received expected |
| - | After about a week's struggle, I removed all DIMMs and | + | length of data. |
| - | add-on cards, and cleaned all pin connectors. Fount that | + | |
| - | it boots fine without any software patch. | + | |
| + | Sending FIN in tcp_xfer_close() in this case, will cause error ACK | ||
| + | number, since the ACK number have not updated by that time. | ||
| + | Later trying to send a correct one in tcp_rx() will fail too, due | ||
| + | to the TCP state already changed. | ||
| + | This patch let the TCP stack send FIN in normal tcp_rx() flow if the | ||
| + | packet contains the last data of the session. | ||
