tcp: tso: restore IW10 after TSO autosizing
With sysctl_tcp_min_tso_segs being 4, it is very possible
that tcp_tso_should_defer() decides not sending last 2 MSS
of initial window of 10 packets. This also applies if
autosizing decides to send X MSS per GSO packet, and cwnd
is not a multiple of X.
This patch implements an heuristic based on age of first
skb in write queue : If it was sent very recently (less than half srtt),
we can predict that no ACK packet will come in less than half rtt,
so deferring might cause an under utilization of our window.
This is visible on initial send (IW10) on web servers,
but more generally on some RPC, as the last part of the message
might need an extra RTT to get delivered.
Tested:
Ran following packetdrill test
// A simple server-side test that sends exactly an initial window (IW10)
// worth of packets.
`sysctl -e -q net.ipv4.tcp_min_tso_segs=4`
