Neal reported that using neper tcp_stream with TCP_TX_DELAY
set to 50ms would often lead to flows stuck in a small cwnd mode,
regardless of the congestion control.
While tcp_stream sets TCP_TX_DELAY too late after the connect(),
it highlighted two kernel bugs.
The following heuristic in tcp_tso_should_defer() seems wrong
for large RTT:
delta = tp->tcp_clock_cache - head->tstamp;
/* If next ACK is likely to come too late (half srtt), do not defer */
if ((s64)(delta - (u64)NSEC_PER_USEC * (tp->srtt_us >> 4)) < 0)
goto send_now;
If next ACK is expected to come in more than 1 ms, we should
not defer because we prefer a smooth ACK clocking.
While blamed commit was a step in the good direction, it was not
generic enough.
Another patch fixing TCP_TX_DELAY for established flows
will be proposed when net-next reopens.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
