Subject: [PATCH net] tcp: add one more quick ack after after ECN events
Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2018 08:47:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180627154721.195722-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)

Larry Brakmo proposal ( https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/935233/
tcp: force cwnd at least 2 in tcp_cwnd_reduction) made us rethink
about our recent patch removing ~16 quick acks after ECN events.

tcp_enter_quickack_mode(sk, 1) makes sure one immediate ack is sent,
but in the case the sender cwnd was lowered to 1, we do not want
to have a delayed ack for the next packet we will receive.

Fixes: 522040ea5fdd ("tcp: do not aggressively quick ack after ECN events")
