Subject: [PATCHv2 0/2] tcp: Stalling connections

This series of patches fixes a problem with the new RTO
timeout calculation as introduced for 2.6.32. Under some
circumstances, if a retransmission fails, the connection
is likely to die silently.

Changelog since v1:
Moved retransmits_timed_out from include/net/tcp.h
to net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c, where it is used.

Signed-off-by: Damian Lukowski <damian@....rwth-aachen.de>

Thanks.
