Eric Dumazet 2bd99aef1b tcp: accept bare FIN packets under memory pressure
Andrew Oates reported that some macOS hosts could repeatedly
send FIN packets even if the remote peer drops them and
send back DUP ACK RWIN 0 packets.

 The retransmits/dup-ACKs then repeat in a tight loop.

</quoting Andrew>

RFC 9293 3.4. Sequence Numbers states :

  Note that when the receive window is zero no segments should be
  acceptable except ACK segments.  Thus, it is be possible for a TCP to
  maintain a zero receive window while transmitting data and receiving
  ACKs.  However, even when the receive window is zero, a TCP must
  process the RST and URG fields of all incoming segments.

Even if we could consider a bare FIN.ACK packet to be an ACK in RFC terms,
the retransmits should use exponential backoff.

Accepting the FIN in linux does not add extra memory costs,
because the FIN flag will simply be merged to the tail skb in
the receive queue, and incoming packet is freed.
