Based on comments by Neal Cardwell to tcp_nv patch:
AFAICT this patch would not require an increase in the size of sk_buff
cb[] if it were to take advantage of the fact that the tcp_skb_cb
header.h4 and header.h6 fields are only used in the packet reception
code path, and this in_flight field is only used on the transmit
side. So the in_flight field could be placed in a struct that is
itself placed in a union with the "header" union.
That way the sender code can remember the in_flight value
without requiring any extra space. And in the future other
sender-side info could be stored in the "tx" struct, if needed.
