Merge branch 'tcp-rack'
Neal Cardwell says: ==================== more accurate DSACK processing for RACK-TLP This patch series includes two minor improvements to tighten up the accuracy of the processing of incoming DSACK information, so that RACK-TLP behavior is faster and more precise: first, to ensure we detect packet loss in some extra corner cases; and second, to avoid growing the RACK reordering window (and delaying fast recovery) in cases where it seems clear we don't need to. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
