Subject: [PATCH net-next] tcp: enhance tcp collapsing

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

As Ilya Lesokhin suggested, we can collapse two skbs at retransmit
time even if the skb at the right has fragments.

We simply have to use more generic skb_copy_bits() instead of
skb_copy_from_linear_data() in tcp_collapse_retrans()

Tested:

Used following packetdrill test

// Establish a connection.
0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
   +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
   +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0
   +0 listen(3, 1) = 0

   +0 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1460,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 8>
   +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 8>
+.100 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257
   +0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4

   +0 setsockopt(4, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0
   +0 write(4, ..., 200) = 200
   +0 > P. 1:201(200) ack 1
+.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200
   +0 > P. 201:401(200) ack 1
+.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200
   +0 > P. 401:601(200) ack 1
+.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200
   +0 > P. 601:801(200) ack 1
+.001 write(4, ..., 200) = 200
   +0 > P. 801:1001(200) ack 1
+.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100
   +0 > P. 1001:1101(100) ack 1
+.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100
   +0 > P. 1101:1201(100) ack 1
+.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100
   +0 > P. 1201:1301(100) ack 1
+.001 write(4, ..., 100) = 100
   +0 > P. 1301:1401(100) ack 1

+.100 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 <nop,nop,sack 1001:1401>
// Check that TCP collapse works :
   +0 > P. 1:1001(1000) ack 1
