Subject: [TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging write_queue
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1b6d427bb7eb69e6dc4f194a5b0f4a382a16ff82;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging write_queue

Previously TCP had a transitional state during which reno
counted segments that are already below the current window into
sacked_out, which is now prevented. In addition, re-try now
the unconditional S+L skb catching.

This approach conservatively calls just remove_sack and leaves
reset_sack() calls alone. The best solution to the whole problem
would be to first calculate the new sacked_out fully (this patch
does not move reno_sack_reset calls from original sites and thus
does not implement this). However, that would require very
invasive change to fastretrans_alert (perhaps even slicing it to
two halves). Alternatively, all callers of tcp_packets_in_flight
(i.e., users that depend on sacked_out) should be postponed
until the new sacked_out has been calculated but it isn't any
simpler alternative.
