686989700c
This patch consolidates and simplifes the loss marking logic used
by a few loss detections (RACK, RFC6675, NewReno). Previously
each detection uses a subset of several intertwined subroutines.
This unncessary complexity has led to bugs (and fixes of bug fixes).
tcp_mark_skb_lost now is the single one routine to mark a packet loss
when a loss detection caller deems an skb ist lost:
1. rewind tp->retransmit_hint_skb if skb has lower sequence or
all lost ones have been retransmitted.
2. book-keeping: adjust flags and counts depending on if skb was
retransmitted or not.

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.
