Eric Dumazet ccd0628fca tcp: tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() should be more conservative
Currently, tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() sends an ack if prior
acks were 'compressed', if room has to be made in tp->selective_acks[]

But there is no guarantee all four sack ranges can be included
in SACK option. As a matter of fact, when TCP timestamps option
is used, only three SACK ranges can be included.

Lets assume only two ranges can be included, and force the ack:

- When we touch more than 2 ranges in the reordering
  done if tcp_sack_extend() could be done.

- If we have at least 2 ranges when adding a new one.

This enforces that before a range is in third or fourth
position, at least one ACK packet included it in first/second
position.

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.
