Subject: [PATCH 4.19 152/243] tcp: make tcp_space() aware of socket backlog

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 85bdf7db5b53cdcc7a901db12bcb3d0063e3866d ]

Jean-Louis Dupond reported poor iscsi TCP receive performance
that we tracked to backlog drops.

Apparently we fail to send window updates reflecting the
fact that we are under stress.

Note that we might lack a proper window increase when
backlog is fully processed, since __release_sock() clears
sk->sk_backlog.len _after_ all skbs have been processed.

This should not matter in practice. If we had a significant
load through socket backlog, we are in a dangerous
situation.
