[PATCH net v2 02/11] mptcp: fix retransmission loop when csum is enabled

From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-06-02 12:14:52

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

Sashiko noted that retransmission with csum enabled can actually
transmit new data, but currently the relevant code does not update
accordingly snd_nxt.

The may cause incoming ack drop and an endless retransmission loop.

Address the issue incrementing snd_nxt as needed.
