Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] tcp: move tcp_rack_advance() to tcp_input.c
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 03:21:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260127032147.3498272-4-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260127032147.3498272-1-edumazet@google.com>
tcp_rack_advance() is called from tcp_ack() and tcp_sacktag_one().
Moving it to tcp_input.c allows the compiler to inline it and save
both space and cpu cycles in TCP fast path.
