Subject: [TCP] FRTO: Reverse RETRANS bit clearing logic
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.22-rc1~1128^2~434
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d1a54c6a0a3f9c2c4ef71982d89b8571bd9eaa51;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[TCP] FRTO: Reverse RETRANS bit clearing logic

Previously RETRANS bits were cleared on the entry to FRTO. We
postpone that into tcp_enter_frto_loss, which is really the
place were the clearing should be done anyway. This allows
simplification of the logic from a clearing loop to the head skb
clearing only.

Besides, the other changes made in the previous patches to
tcp_use_frto made it impossible for the non-SACKed FRTO to be
entered if other than the head has been rexmitted.

With SACK-enhanced FRTO (and Appendix B), however, there can be
a number retransmissions in flight when RTO expires (same thing
could happen before this patchset also with non-SACK FRTO). To
not introduce any jumpiness into the packet counting during FRTO,
instead of clearing RETRANS bits from skbs during entry, do it
later on.
