Hi,

I've turned TSO back on to test, and I'm currently on 5.10.0-7-amd64 ($
uname -a -> Linux myrkul 5.10.0-7-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.40-1
(2021-05-28) x86_64 GNU/Linux).

I could not readily reproduce it using a netcat tunnel to push higher load
from VM to host, or from VM to external networks, so it looks likely that
something in the last two years cleaned this up. Feel free to close, and I
can reopen with more details if it comes back.

Thanks!
- John
