I asked you yesterday why "staging: " appears in your subject line
and you have failed to respond and explain.

There are also functional issues with your patch:

> -		tp->snd_cwnd = tp->snd_ssthresh = tcp_westwood_bw_rttmin(sk);
> +		tp->snd_cwnd = tcp_westwood_bw_rttmin(sk);
> +		tp->snd_ssthresh = tcp_westwood_bw_rttmin(sk);

This is bogus, now tcp_westwood_bw_rttmin(sk) will potentially be called
two times instead of once.

The existing code is fine, please do not modify it.
