When net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies=1 and syn flood is happened, cookie_v4_check or cookie_v6_check tries to redo what tcp_v4_send_synack or tcp_v6_send_synack did, rsk_window_clamp will be changed if SOCK_RCVBUF is set, which will make rcv_wscale is different, the client still operates with initial window scale and can overshot granted window, the client use the initial scale but local server use new scale to advertise window value, and session work abnormally.

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. 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.
