Subject: Re: [PATCH] tcp: do not scale TSO segment size with reordering
 degree

> Since 2005 (c1b4a7e69576d65efc31a8cea0714173c2841244)
> tcp_tso_should_defer has been using tcp_max_burst() as a target limit
> for deciding how large to make outgoing TSO packets when not using
> sysctl_tcp_tso_win_divisor. But since 2008
> (dd9e0dda66ba38a2ddd1405ac279894260dc5c36) tcp_max_burst() returns the
> reordering degree. We should not have tcp_tso_should_defer attempt to
> build larger segments just because there is more reordering. This
> commit splits the notion of deferral size used in TSO from the notion
> of burst size used in cwnd moderation, and returns the TSO deferral
