Subject: [PATCH] tcp: fix TSO cwnd caching bug
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.13-rc6~37
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b68e9f857271189bd7a59b74c99890de9195b0e1;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] tcp: fix TSO cwnd caching bug

tcp_write_xmit caches the cwnd value indirectly in cwnd_quota.  When
tcp_transmit_skb reduces the cwnd because of tcp_enter_cwr, the cached
value becomes invalid.

This patch ensures that the cwnd value is always reread after each
tcp_transmit_skb call.
