Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] tcp: make retransmitted SKB fit into the send window

Hi Eric,
thank you for your feedback and suggestions. Sorry for miss part of your
prior feedback. I will prepare a v3 patch as your suggestion.

And anther your feedback about "need a Fixes: tag", I can not find any commit
which is related to this patch. Do you have any suggestion about Fixes:tag?
