tcp: lack of available data can also cause TSO defer
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
tcp_tso_should_defer() can return true in three different cases :

 1) We are cwnd-limited
 2) We are rwnd-limited
 3) We are application limited.

Neal pointed out that my recent fix went too far, since
it assumed that if we were not in 1) case, we must be rwnd-limited

Fix this by properly populating the is_cwnd_limited and
is_rwnd_limited booleans.

After this change, we can finally move the silly check for FIN
flag only for the application-limited case.

The same move for EOR bit will be handled in net-next,
since commit 1c09f7d ("tcp: do not try to defer skbs
with eor mark (MSG_EOR)") is scheduled for linux-4.21

Tested by running 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_RR -- -r 60000,100
and checking none of them was rwnd_limited in the chrono_stat
output from "ss -ti" command.
