Since the introduction of TSO pcount a year ago, it has been possible
for tcp_fragment() to cause packets_out to decrease. Prior to that,
tcp_retrans_try_collapse() was the only way for that to happen on the
retransmission path.
When this happens with Reno, it is possible for sasked_out to become
invalid because it is only an estimate and not tied to any particular
packet on the retransmission queue.
Therefore we need to adjust sacked_out as well as left_out in the Reno
case. The following patch does exactly that.
This bug is pretty difficult to trigger in practice though since you
need a SACKless peer with a retransmission that occurs just as the
cached MTU value expires.
