[PATCH] tcp: fix TSO cwnd caching bug
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
