[PATCH 12/18] drbd: trigger tcp_push_pending_frames() for PING and PING_ACK

[Philipp Reisner]

From: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@xxxxxxxxxx>

This should reduce latency for such in-DRBD-protocol "pings",
and may help reduce spurious disconnect/reconnect cycles due to
 "PingAck did not arrive in time."
