tcp: properly increase rcv_ssthresh for ofo packets
TCP receive window handling is multi staged. A socket has a memory budget, static or dynamic, in sk_rcvbuf. Because we do not really know how this memory budget translates to a TCP window (payload), TCP announces a small initial window (about 20 MSS). When a packet is received, we increase TCP rcv_win depending on the payload/truesize ratio of this packet. Good citizen packets give a hint that it's reasonable to have rcv_win = sk_rcvbuf/2 This heuristic takes place in tcp_grow_window() Problem is : We currently call tcp_grow_window() only for in-order packets. This means that reorders or packet losses stop proper grow of rcv_win, and senders are unable to benefit from fast recovery, or proper reordering level detection. Really, a packet being stored in OFO queue is not a bad citizen. It should be part of the game as in-order packets. In our traces, we very often see sender is limited by linux small receive windows, even if linux hosts use autotuning (DRS) and should allow rcv_win to grow to ~3MB.
