David S. Miller 2c47a65b70 Merge branch 'tcp-implement-SACK-compression'
Eric Dumazet says:

====================
tcp: implement SACK compression

When TCP receives an out-of-order packet, it immediately sends
a SACK packet, generating network load but also forcing the
receiver to send 1-MSS pathological packets, increasing its
RTX queue length/depth, and thus processing time.

Wifi networks suffer from this aggressive behavior, but generally
speaking, all these SACK packets add fuel to the fire when networks
are under congestion.

This patch series adds SACK compression, but the infrastructure
could be leveraged to also compress ACK in the future.

v2: Addressed Neal feedback.
    Added two sysctls to allow fine tuning, or even disabling the feature.

v3: take rtt = min(srtt, rcv_rtt) as Yuchung suggested, because rcv_rtt
    can be over estimated for RPC (or sender limited)

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
