[TCP]: NewReno must count every skb while marking losses
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
NewReno should add cnt per skb (as with FACK) instead of depending on
SACKED_ACKED bits which won't be set with it at all.  Effectively,
NewReno should always exists after the first iteration anyway (or
immediately if there's already head in lost_out.

This was fixed earlier in net-2.6.25 but got reverted among other
stuff and I didn't notice that this is still necessary (actually
wasn't even considering this case while trying to figure out the
reports because I lived with different kind of code than it in reality
was).

This should solve the WARN_ONs in TCP code that as a result of this
triggered multiple times in every place we check for this invariant.

Special thanks to Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> and Krishna
Kumar2 <krkumar2@in.ibm.com> for trying with my debug patches.
