[PATCH 4.9 15/32] tcp: add one more quick ack after after ECN events

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 15ecbe94a45ef88491ca459b26efdd02f91edb6d ]

Larry Brakmo proposal ( https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/935233/
tcp: force cwnd at least 2 in tcp_cwnd_reduction) made us rethink
about our recent patch removing ~16 quick acks after ECN events.

tcp_enter_quickack_mode(sk, 1) makes sure one immediate ack is sent,
but in the case the sender cwnd was lowered to 1, we do not want
to have a delayed ack for the next packet we will receive.

Fixes: 522040ea5fdd ("tcp: do not aggressively quick ack after ECN events")
