[ Upstream commit1b18f09d31] During a reset, there may have been transmits in flight that are no longer valid and cannot be fulfilled. Resetting and clearing the queues is insufficient; each skb also needs to be explicitly freed so that upper levels are not left waiting for confirmation of a transmit that will never happen. If this happens frequently enough, the apparent backlog will cause TCP to begin "congestion control" unnecessarily, culminating in permanently decreased throughput.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
