Subject: [PATCH 1/1] cdc_ncm: Fix TCP Window Size issue by CDC NCM driver
CDC NCM driver clones SKBs for received data and update SKB
members of the clones according to received frames.
If SKB clone len member is updated but truesize member is not, it
could cause check #2 of the tcp_grow_window function to increase
the TCP window by the __tcp_grow_window function instead of the
expected increment by 2*advmss. This could to a great extent
limit the rcv_ssthres and by that the advertised TCP Window Size,
and in the end the data rate of a TCP connection, as according to
the TCP Sliding Window concept.
With this patch the truesize member of the SKB clones is updated
in similarity to the len member and by this the expected incremental
of the advertised TCP Window Size is seen and the TCP connection
data rate will not be unnecessarily limited.
