Subject: [PATCH net-2.6 01/17] tcp: fix retrans_out leaks

From: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@...sinki.fi>

There's conflicting assumptions in shifting, the caller assumes
that dupsack results in S'ed skbs (or a part of it) for sure but
never gave a hint to tcp_sacktag_one when dsack is actually in
use. Thus DSACK retrans_out -= pcount was not taken and the
counter became out of sync. Remove obstacle from that information
flow to get DSACKs accounted in tcp_sacktag_one as expected.
