This patch is to introduce last_rtx_chunks into sctp_transport to detect
if there's any packet retransmission/loss happened by checking against
asoc's rtx_data_chunks in sctp_transport_pl_send().
If there is, namely, transport->last_rtx_chunks != asoc->rtx_data_chunks,
the pmtu probe will be sent out. Otherwise, increment the pl.raise_count
and return when it's in Search Complete state.
With this patch, if in Search Complete state, which is a long period, it
doesn't need to keep probing the current pmtu unless there's data packet
loss. This will save quite some traffic.
v1->v2:
- add the missing Fixes tag.

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.
