This commit changes the data receiver repath behavior to occur after receiving a single duplicate. This can help recover ACK connectivity quicker if a TLP was sent along a nonworking path. For instance, consider the case where we have an initially nonworking forward path and reverse path and subsequently switch to only working forward paths. Before this patch we would have the following behavior. +---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+ | Event | For FL | Rev FL | FP Works | RP Works | Data Del | +---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+ | Initial | A | 1 | N | N | 0 | +---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+ | TLP | A | 1 | N | N | 0 | +---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+ | RTO 1 | B | 1 | Y | N | 1 | +---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+ | RTO 2 | C | 1 | Y | N | 2 | +---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+ | RTO 3 | D | 2 | Y | Y | 3 | +---------+--------+--------+----------+----------+----------+ This patch gets rid of at least RTO 3, avoiding additional unnecessary repaths of a working forward path to a (potentially) nonworking one. In addition, this commit changes the behavior to avoid repathing upon rx of duplicate data if the local endpoint is in CA_Loss (in which case the RTOs will already be changing the outgoing flowlabel).

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.
