From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1cec170d458b1d18f6f1654ca84c0804a701c5ef ] After subflow lock is dropped, more wmem might have been made available. This fixes a deadlock in mptcp_connect.sh 'mmap' mode: wmem is exhausted. But as the mptcp socket holds on to already-acked data (for retransmit) no wakeup will occur. Using 'goto restart' calls mptcp_clean_una(sk) which will free pages that have been acked completely in the mean time.
