Thank you for this fix. Could you fix a few things up for
me and resubmit this?
1) Please provide a proper Signed-off-by: line as per
linux/Documentation/SubmittingPatches
2) Please -p1 root your patches at the top level of
the kernel source tree, again the SubmittingPatches
document helps explain ways to do this
3) Please fix up a few coding style errors, such as:
> + ca->undo_last_cong=0; // flag that ca->last_cong is not to be reset when enter TCP_CA_Open state
Please don't use C++ style comments, use normal C ones,
and please don't let the line exceed much more than 80
columns.
Also, please put one space on each side of the equal sign in the
assignment.
> + if (ca->undo_last_cong) {
> + ca->last_cong=jiffies;
> + ca->undo_last_cong=0;
> + }
Again, please put spaces around the assignment equal sign.
Thanks.
