When we've gone for >1RTT without transmitting a packet, we should reduce the ssthresh and cut the cwnd by half (as suggested in RFC2861 sec 3.1). However, we may receive ACK packets in a batch and the first of these may cut the cwnd, preventing further transmission, and each subsequent one cuts the cwnd yet further, reducing it to the floor and killing performance. Fix this by moving the cwnd reset to after doing the transmission and resetting the base time such that we don't cut the cwnd by half again for at least another RTT.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
