[PATCH net-next 11/14] rxrpc: Fix retransmission algorithm

From: David Howells
Date: Sat Sep 17 2016 - 19:20:18 EST


Make the retransmission algorithm use for-loops instead of do-loops and
move the counter increments into the for-statement increment slots.

Though the do-loops are slighly more efficient since there will be at least
one pass through the each loop, the counter increments are harder to get
right as the continue-statements skip them.

Without this, if there are any positive acks within the loop, the do-loop
will cycle forever because the counter increment is never done.
