tcp: fix cwnd undo on DSACK in F-RTO
[ Upstream commit 0cfa5c07d6d1d7f8e710fc671c5ba1ce85e09fa4 ] This bug is discovered by an recent F-RTO issue on tcpm list https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tcpm/current/msg08794.html The bug is that currently F-RTO does not use DSACK to undo cwnd in certain cases: upon receiving an ACK after the RTO retransmission in F-RTO, and the ACK has DSACK indicating the retransmission is spurious, the sender only calls tcp_try_undo_loss() if some never retransmisted data is sacked (FLAG_ORIG_DATA_SACKED). The correct behavior is to unconditionally call tcp_try_undo_loss so the DSACK information is used properly to undo the cwnd reduction.
