SubjectRe: unnecessary retransmit from network stack

why does net_dev.hard_start_xmit get called multiple times
with the same tcp packet?

Because the ACK is not coming back for those packets within the RTO
(which for a local network is very low). Check your TCP dumps,
the ACKs of the original data packets are being dropped in transit.

Franks a lot,
