This patch improves TCP PRR loss recovery behavior for a corner case. Previously during PRR conservation-bound mode, it strictly sends the amount equals to the amount newly acked or s/acked. The patch changes s.t. PRR may send additional amount that was banked previously (e.g. application-limited) in the conservation-bound mode, similar to the slow-start mode. This unifies and simplifies the algorithm further and may improve the recovery latency. This change still follow the general packet conservation design principle and always keep inflight/cwnd below the slow start threshold set by the congestion control module. PRR is described in RFC 6937. We'll include this change in the latest revision rfc6937-bis as well.

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.
