[PATCH RESEND net-next v2 2/5] tcp: fix stretch ACK bugs in Scalable

From: Pengcheng Yang
Date: Mon Mar 16 2020 - 03:04:37 EST


Change Scalable to properly handle stretch ACKs in additive
increase mode by passing in the count of ACKed packets to
tcp_cong_avoid_ai().

In addition, because we are now precisely accounting for
stretch ACKs, including delayed ACKs, we can now change
TCP_SCALABLE_AI_CNT to 100.
