tcp: avoid cwnd moderation in undo
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In the current undo logic, cwnd is moderated after it was restored
to the value prior entering fast-recovery. It was moderated first
in tcp_try_undo_recovery then again in tcp_complete_cwr.

Since the undo indicates recovery was false, these moderations
are not necessary. If the undo is triggered when most of the
outstanding data have been acknowledged, the (restored) cwnd is
falsely pulled down to a small value.

This patch removes these cwnd moderations if cwnd is undone
  a) during fast-recovery
	b) by receiving DSACKs past fast-recovery
