Subject: tcp: don't clear retransmit_skb_hint when not necessary
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc1~717^2~255
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ef9da47c7cc64d69526331f315e76b5680d4048f;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

tcp: don't clear retransmit_skb_hint when not necessary

Most importantly avoid doing it with cumulative ACK. Not clearing
means that we no longer need n^2 processing in resolution of each
fast recovery.
