The retransmit head will be NULL in case there is no in-flight data (meaning all data injected into network has been acked). In that case the retransmit timer is stopped. This is only correct if there is no more pending, not-yet-sent data. If there is, the retransmit timer needs to set the PENDING bit again so that mptcp tries to send the remaining (new) data once a subflow can accept more data. Also, mptcp_subflow_get_retrans() has to be called unconditionally. This function checks for subflows that have become unresponsive and marks them as stale, so in the case where the rtx queue is empty, subflows will never be marked stale which prevents available backup subflows from becoming eligible for transmit.

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.
