Make the following fixes to the congestion control algorithm:
(1) Don't vary the cwnd starting value by the size of RXRPC_TX_SMSS since
that's currently held constant - set to the size of a jumbo subpacket
payload so that we can create jumbo packets on the fly. The current
code invariably picks 3 as the starting value.
Further, the starting cwnd needs to be an even number because we ack
every other packet, so set it to 4.
(2) Don't cut ssthresh when we see an ACK come from the peer with a
receive window (rwind) less than ssthresh. ssthresh keeps track of
characteristics of the connection whereas rwind may be reduced by the
peer for any reason - and may be reduced to 0.

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 reStructuredText 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.
