SubjectRe: [PATCH] tcp: fix TCP socks unreleased in BBR mode
Hi Eric,

I'm sorry that I didn't write enough clearly. We're running the
pristine 4.19.125 linux kernel (the latest LTS version) and have been
haunted by such an issue. This patch is high-important, I think. So
I'm going to resend this email with the [patch 4.19] on the headline
and cc Greg.

Thanks,
Jason
