From: Shardul Bankar When a packet arrives with map_seq < ack_seq < end_seq, the beginning of the packet has already been acknowledged but the end contains new data. Currently the entire packet is dropped as "old data," forcing the sender to retransmit. Instead, skip the already-acked bytes by adjusting the skb offset and enqueue only the new portion. Update bytes_received and ack_seq to reflect the new data consumed. A previous attempt at this fix has been sent by Paolo Abeni [1], but had issues [2]: it also added a zero-window check and changed rcv_wnd_sent initialization, which caused test regressions. This version addresses only the partial packet handling without modifying receive window accounting. Fixes: ab174ad8ef76 ("mptcp: move ooo skbs into msk out of order queue.")
