Subject[PATCH][TCP]: simplify tcp_mark_lost_retrans()
Hi,

I noticed that in tcp_mark_lost_retrans the for-loop is only entered
if tcp_is_fack(tp) evaluates to true:

if (!tcp_is_fack(tp) || !tp->retrans_out ||
!after(received_upto, tp->lost_retrans_low) ||
icsk->icsk_ca_state != TCP_CA_Recovery)
return;

Therefore the following check in the for-loop seems to be redundant,
because it always evaluates to true:

(tcp_is_fack(tp) ||
!before(received_upto,
ack_seq + tp->reordering * tp->mss_cache))

Did I miss something?

Best regards,
Arnd Hannemann

Because the for loop is only executed for FACK-enabled flows remove
redundant checks within the loop.
