Subject: tcp: Fix tcp_mark_head_lost() with packets == 0
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6830c25b7d08fbbd922959425193791bc42079f2;p=linux-beck.git

tcp: Fix tcp_mark_head_lost() with packets == 0

A packet is marked as lost in case packets == 0, although nothing should be done.
This results in a too early retransmitted packet during recovery in some cases.
This small patch fixes this issue by returning immediately.
