Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] tcp: reduce quickack pressure for ECN

Small patch series changing TCP behavior vs quickack and ECN

First patch is a refactoring, adding parameter to tcp_incr_quickack()
and tcp_enter_quickack_mode() helpers.

Second patch implements the change, lowering number of ACK packets
sent after an ECN event.

Eric Dumazet (2):
  tcp: add max_quickacks param to tcp_incr_quickack and
    tcp_enter_quickack_mode
  tcp: do not aggressively quick ack after ECN events
