When recovering after a link failure, snd_nxt should not be set to a
lower value. Else, update of snd_nxt is broken because:
msk->snd_nxt += ret; (where ret is number of bytes sent)
assumes that snd_nxt always moves forward.
After reduction, its possible that snd_nxt update gets out of sync:
dfrag we just sent might have had a data sequence number even past
recovery_snd_nxt.
This change factors the common msk state update to a helper
and updates snd_nxt based on the current dfrag data sequence number.
The conditional is required for the recovery phase where we may
re-transmit old dfrags that are before current snd_nxt.
After this change, snd_nxt only moves forward and covers all in-sequence
data that was transmitted.
recovery_snd_nxt is retained to detect when recovery has completed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
