3.6.11.1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 2e5f421211ff76c17130b4597bc06df4eeead24f ] Commit 9dc274151a548 (tcp: fix ABC in tcp_slow_start()) uncovered a bug in FRTO code : tcp_process_frto() is setting snd_cwnd to 0 if the number of in flight packets is 0. As Neal pointed out, if no packet is in flight we lost our chance to disambiguate whether a loss timeout was spurious. We should assume it was a proper loss.
