====================
tcp: fix xmit timer rearming to avoid stalls
This patch series is a bug fix for a TCP loss recovery performance bug
reported independently in recent netdev threads:
(i) July 26, 2017: netdev thread "TCP fast retransmit issues"
(ii) July 26, 2017: netdev thread:
"[PATCH V2 net-next] TLP: Don't reschedule PTO when there's one
outstanding TLP retransmission"
Many thanks to Klavs Klavsen and Mao Wenan for the detailed reports,
traces, and packetdrill test cases, which enabled us to root-cause
this issue and verify the fix.
- v1 -> v2:
- In patch 2/3, changed an unclear comment in the pre-existing code
in tcp_schedule_loss_probe() to be more clear (thanks to Eric Dumazet
for suggesting we improve this).

These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
