Subject: [TCP]: Limit processing lost_retrans loop to work-to-do cases
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc1~1454^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b08d6cb22c777c8c91c16d8e3b8aafc93c98cbd9;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[TCP]: Limit processing lost_retrans loop to work-to-do cases

This addition of lost_retrans_low to tcp_sock might be
unnecessary, it's not clear how often lost_retrans worker is
executed when there wasn't work to do.
