Status: Reviewed.

1 review trailer.

lost_skb_hint is used by tcp_mark_head_lost() to mark the first unhandled skb.
lost_cnt_hint is the number of sacked packets before the lost_skb_hint. When
shifting a skb that is before the lost_skb_hint, tcp_shifted_skb() doesn't need
to adjust lost_cnt_hint by itself because it calls tcp_sacktag_one() which will
do the job right.
