Subject: [PATCH v4.14-stable 0/2] Fixes to commit fdfc5c8594c2 (tcp: remove
 empty skb from write queue in error cases)


The above referenced commit has problems on older non-rbTree kernels.

AFAICS, the commit has only been backported to 4.14 up to now, but the
commit that fdfc5c8594c2 is fixing (namely ce5ec440994b ("tcp: ensure epoll
edge trigger wakeup when write queue is empty"), is in v4.2.

Christoph Paasch (2):
  tcp: Reset send_head when removing skb from write-queue
  tcp: Don't dequeue SYN/FIN-segments from write-queue
