Subject: [PATCH v2 net 5/5] tcp: send real dupACKs by locking advertized window for non-SACK flows
Currently, the TCP code is overly eager to increase window on
almost every ACK. It makes those ACKs that the receiver should
sent as dupACKs look like they update window that is not
considered a real dupACK by the non-SACK sender-side code.
Therefore the sender needs to resort to RTO to recover
losses as fast retransmit/fast recovery cannot be triggered
by such masked duplicate ACKs.
This change makes sure that when an ofo segment is received,
no change to window is applied if we are going to send a dupACK.
Even with this change, the window updates keep being maintained
but that occurs "behind the scenes". That is, this change does
not interfere with memory management of the flow which could
have long-term impact for the progress of the flow but only
prevents those updates being seen on the wire on short-term.
It's ok to change the window for non-dupACKs such as the first
ACK after ofo arrivals start if that ACK was using delayed ACKs
and also whenever the ack field advances. As ack field typically
advances once per RTT as the first hole is retransmitted, the
window updates are not delayed entirely during long recoveries.
Even before this fix, tcp_select_window did not allow ACK
shrinking the window for duplicate ACKs (that was previously
even called "treason" but the old charmy message is gone now).
The advertized window can only shrink when also ack field
changes which will not be blocked by this change as it is not
duplicate ACK.
