When the packet pointed to by retransmit_skb_hint is unlinked by ACK,
retransmit_skb_hint will be set to NULL in tcp_clean_rtx_queue().
If packet loss is detected at this time, retransmit_skb_hint will be set
to point to the current packet loss in tcp_verify_retransmit_hint(),
then the packets that were previously marked lost but not retransmitted
due to the restriction of cwnd will be skipped and cannot be
retransmitted.
To fix this, when retransmit_skb_hint is NULL, retransmit_skb_hint can
be reset only after all marked lost packets are retransmitted
(retrans_out >= lost_out), otherwise we need to traverse from
tcp_rtx_queue_head in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue().
Packetdrill to demonstrate:
// Disable RACK and set max_reordering to keep things simple

+0 `sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_max_reordering=3`
// Establish a connection
+0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
+0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0

Thanks for finding and fixing this issue, and for providing the very
nice packetdrill test case! The fix looks good to me.
I verified that the packetdrill test fails at the line notated "BUG"
without the patch applied:
fr-retrans-hint-skip-fix.pkt:33: error handling packet: live packet
field tcp_seq: expected: 2001 (0x7d1) vs actual: 4001 (0xfa1)
script packet: 0.137311 . 2001:3001(1000) ack 1
actual packet: 0.137307 . 4001:5001(1000) ack 1 win 256
Also verified that the test passes with the patch applied, and that
our internal SACK and fast recovery tests continue to pass with this
patch applied.

"cannot be retransmittted" sounds quite alarming.
You meant they will eventually be retransmitted, or that the flow is
completely frozen at this point ?
Thanks for the fix and test !

He probably means those lost packets will be skipped until a timeout
that reset hint pointer. nice fix this would save some RTOs.

Yes, I mean those packets will not be retransmitted until RTO.
I'm sorry I didn't describe it clearly.
