linux TCP数据包重传过程----小结

       于TCP/IP协议栈的TCP协议的重传功能是由在linux内核源码(net/ipv4/tcp_output.c)中的函数tcp_retransmit_skb()实现的

代码如下：

/* This retransmits one SKB.  Policy decisions and retransmit queue
 * state updates are done by the caller.  Returns non-zero if an
 * error occurred which prevented the send.
 */
int tcp_retransmit_skb(struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	struct tcp_sock *tp = tcp_sk(sk);
	struct inet_connection_sock *icsk = inet_csk(sk);
	unsigned int cur_mss;
	int err;

	/* Inconslusive MTU probe */
	if (icsk->icsk_mtup.probe_size) {
		icsk->icsk_mtup.probe_size = 0;
	}

	/* Do not sent more than we queued. 1/4 is reserved for possible
	 * copying overhead: fragmentation, tunneling, mangling etc.
	 */
	 	//说明在发送缓存区中消耗了许多内存去做其他的工作(比如分片等，只有1/4的缓存才是保留给这些工作的)
