    tcp: allow for bigger reordering level · dca145ff
    Eric Dumazet 提交于
    While testing upcoming Yaogong patch (converting out of order queue
    into an RB tree), I hit the max reordering level of linux TCP stack.
    
    Reordering level was limited to 127 for no good reason, and some
    network setups [1] can easily reach this limit and get limited
    throughput.
    
    Allow a new max limit of 300, and add a sysctl to allow admins to even
    allow bigger (or lower) values if needed.
    
    [1] Aggregation of links, per packet load balancing, fabrics not doing
     deep packet inspections, alternative TCP congestion modules...
