The previous approach for the lost and retransmit bits was to wipe the slate clean: zero all the lost and retransmit bits, correspondingly zero the lost_out and retrans_out counters, and then add back the lost bits (and correspondingly increment lost_out). The new approach is to treat this very much like marking packets lost in fast recovery. We don’t wipe the slate clean. We just say that for all packets that were not yet marked sacked or lost, we now mark them as lost in exactly the same way we do for fast recovery. This fixes the lost retransmit accounting at RTO time and greatly simplifies the RTO code by sharing much of the logic with Fast Recovery.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
