[PATCH 5.10 08/29] mptcp: skip to next candidate if subflow has unacked data

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 22 2021 - 07:22:52 EST


From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 860975c6f80adae9d2c7654bde04a99dd28bc94f ]

In case a subflow path is blocked, MPTCP-level retransmit may not take
place anymore because such subflow is likely to have unacked data left
in its write queue.

Ignore subflows that have experienced loss and test next candidate.
