Subject: [PATCH 3.18 020/145] tcp: fix overflow in __tcp_retransmit_skb()

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

commit ffb4d6c8508657824bcef68a36b2a0f9d8c09d10 upstream.

If a TCP socket gets a large write queue, an overflow can happen
in a test in __tcp_retransmit_skb() preventing all retransmits.

The flow then stalls and resets after timeouts.

Tested:

sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=1000000000
netperf -H dest -- -s 1000000000
