Dave, you could consider applying other than the last one if they
seem ok to you too (you'll need to rebase your tcp-2.6 in that case
first to apply cleanly those that touch tcp_sync_left_out :-)).
Absolutely, I'll do the quick rebase of tcp-2.6 and review +
applying of your patches (except the last one) over the weekend.
While you're in the right context (reviewing patch 8), you could also
look if tcp_clean_rtx_queue does a right thing when passing a strange 
pkts_acked to congestion control modules. I wonder if it really should 
ignore GSO the way it does currently... I read some cc module code and 
some was adding it to snd_cwnd_cnt, etc. which is a strong indication 
that GSO should be considered... Also if the head is GSO skb that is not 
completely acked, the loop breaks with pkts_acked being zero, I doubt
that can be correct... 

...added Stephen H. & Herbert X. to this thread since also they might have 
some idea about it.

...Anyway, if it's wrong, the fix should go to net-2.6 rather than to 
tcp-2.6...
