We mustn't let the > hard-ACK point regress, nor do we want to do unnecessary > retransmission because the soft-ACK list regresses. This is not > trivial, however, due to some loose wording in various old protocol > specs, the ACK field that should be used for this sometimes has the > wrong information in it. > > (3) Add a tracepoint to log a discarded ACK. > > The patches are tagged here: > > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git > rxrpc-fixes-20200520 Pulled, thanks David.
