Thanks! could you post the output of `sysctl -a |grep tcp`?

I suspect tcp_process_tlp_ack() should not revert state to Open
directly, but calling tcp_try_keep_open() instead, similar to all the
undo processing in the tcp_fastretrans_alert(): after
tcp_end_cwnd_reduction(), the process (E) falls back to check other
stats before moving to CA_Open.
