More exactly, it should retransmit a smaller portion of the payload.

I asked in my prior feeback to align len to a multiple of cur_mss.
Trying to send full MSS is likely helping receivers to not waste
memory and thus send us bigger RWIN.

Also I think the logic about zero window probe could be consolidated
in one place.

Also you forgot to change the part about tcp_retrans_try_collapse()
which I also mentioned in my feedback.

If we want to fix this problem for good, we need to take care of all cases...

Something like this:
