[PATCH v2 mptcp-next 0/4] mptcp: just another xmit path refactor

[Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>]

Eric want to revert the tcp_tx_skb_cache. MPTCP relies on it
for skb allocation. Before the revert we need to refactor our
xmit path.

Patch 1 exposes some needed helpers (endorsed by Eric)
Patch 2 contains the nasty new code
Patch 3 revert some core TCP changes not needed anymore
and patch 4 is Eric's revert.

This iteration should hopefully solve the OoB issues I observed with
the previous attempt, changes documented in patch 2.

Eric Dumazet (1):
  tcp: remove sk_{tr}x_skb_cache

Paolo Abeni (3):
  tcp: expose the tcp_mark_push() and skb_entail() helpers
  mptcp: stop relaying on tcp_tx_skb_cache.
  Partially revert "tcp: factor out tcp_build_frag()"
