    Hi Greg,

    In looking at the 4.9 and 4.14 patches yesterday, I noticed there were
    two TCP BBR fixes that made it into 4.14 but not 4.9. Doing an
    inventory of the TCP BBR fixes, AFAICT we have:

    c589e69b508d tcp_bbr: record "full bw reached" decision in new
    full_bw_reached bit
    - in 4.9 and 4.14 (great)

    2f6c498e4f15 tcp_bbr: reset full pipe detection on loss recovery undo
    - in 4.14 (but not 4.9)

    600647d467c6 tcp_bbr: reset long-term bandwidth sampling on loss recovery undo
    - in 4.14 (but not 4.9)

    Lacking the second and third patches in 4.9 will not cause any new
    problems, but it will miss out on some nice fixes. If it's possible to
    get 2f6c498e4f15 and 600647d467c6 either into 4.9.74 or 4.9.75, I
    would be very grateful.

    Thanks!
    neal
