[PATCH] tcp_bbr: replace lambda expression with bitwise operation for bit flip

From: I Hsin Cheng
Date: Fri Apr 26 2024 - 11:24:19 EST


In the origin implementation in function bbr_update_ack_aggregation(),
we utilize a lambda expression to flip the bit value of
bbr->extra_acked_win_idx. Since the data type of
bbr->extra_acked_win_idx is simply a single bit, we are actually trying
to perform a bit flip operation, under the fact we can simply perform a
bitwise not operation on bbr->extra_acked_win_idx.

This way we can elimate the need of possible branches which generate by
the lambda function, they could result in branch misses sometimes.
Perform a bitwise not operation is more straightforward and wouldn't
generate branches.
