[PATCH 4.19 014/142] tcp: Do not underestimate rwnd_limited

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 14 2018 - 07:44:21 EST


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

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 41727549de3e7281feb174d568c6e46823db8684 ]

If available rwnd is too small, tcp_tso_should_defer()
can decide it is worth waiting before splitting a TSO packet.

This really means we are rwnd limited.

Fixes: 5615f88614a4 ("tcp: instrument how long TCP is limited by receive window")
