hi all, In tcp_mark_head_lost() fucntion, when sack enabled and fack disabled, why does the packet counter variable "cnt" increase only when current skb is marked as TCPCB_SACKED_ACKED? code: if (tcp_is_fack(tp) || tcp_is_reno(tp) || (TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->sacked & TCPCB_SACKED_ACKED)) cnt += tcp_skb_pcount(skb); Is this right ? I have a question when retransmition queue looks as below: sacked=0 --> sacked=SACK_ACKED --> sacked=0 --> sacked=SACK_ACKED then, when we call tcp_mark_head_lost(sk, 1, 0) this will mark the two skbs, which are previously marked 0 , as TCPCB_LOST. So, this function marks two skbs as lost, although we pass parameter "packets" as "1". I do not know why this function has this semantic , which is not consistent with its declaration. Can anyone explanation this, thanks in advance.
