    I'm not exactly sure what patches you have applied and which patches are 
    not, with rc4-mm1 there are two patches (first one was incomplete, I 
    assume you had at least that one based on your other mail) to really fix 
    the issues in (__|)tcp_reset_fack_counts(...). However, there seems to be 
    so much breakage that I have a bit trouble to decide where to start...
    The situation seems bit scary :-).
    So, I might soon prepare a revert patch for most of the questionable 
    TCP parts and ask Dave to apply it (and drop them fully during next 
    rebase) unless I suddently figure something out soon which explains 
    all/most of the problems, then return to drawing board. ...As it seems 
    that the cumulative ACK processing problem discovered later on (having 
    rather cumbersome solution with skbs only) will make part of the work 
    that's currently in net-2.6.25 quite useless/duplicate effort. But thanks 
    anyway for reporting these.
