[PATCH] tcp: fix compiler array bounds warning on selective_acks[]

From: Bjorn Helgaas
Date: Thu Apr 10 2014 - 17:30:47 EST


With -Werror=array-bounds, gcc v4.8.x warns that in tcp_sack_remove(), a
selective_acks[] "array subscript is above array bounds".

I don't understand how gcc figures this out, or why we don't see similar
problems many other places, but this is the only fix I can figure out.
