-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: David Miller [TCP]: slow_start_after_idle should influence cwnd validation too For the cases that slow_start_after_idle are meant to deal with, it is almost a certainty that the congestion window tests will think the connection is application limited and we'll thus decrease the cwnd there too. This defeats the whole point of setting slow_start_after_idle to zero. So test it there too. We do not cancel out the entire tcp_cwnd_validate() function so that if the sysctl is changed we still have the validation state maintained. Signed-off-by: David S.
