[TCP]: Bidir flow must not disregard SACK blocks for lost marking
It's possible that new SACK blocks that should trigger new LOST markings arrive with new data (which previously made is_dupack false). In addition, I think this fixes a case where we get a cumulative ACK with enough SACK blocks to trigger the fast recovery (is_dupack would be false there too). I'm not completely pleased with this solution because readability of the code is somewhat questionable as 'is_dupack' in SACK case is no longer about dupacks only but would mean something like 'lost_marker_work_todo' too... But because of Eifel stuff done in CA_Recovery, the FLAG_DATA_SACKED check cannot be placed to the if statement which seems attractive solution. Nevertheless, I didn't like adding another variable just for that either... :-) Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
