[ Upstream commit 50ce163a72d817a99e8974222dcf2886d5deb1ae ] For some reason, tcp_grow_window() correctly tests if enough room is present before attempting to increase tp->rcv_ssthresh, but does not prevent it to grow past tcp_space() This is causing hard to debug issues, like failing the (__tcp_select_window(sk) >= tp->rcv_wnd) test in __tcp_ack_snd_check(), causing ACK delays and possibly slow flows. Depending on tcp_rmem[2], MTU, skb->len/skb->truesize ratio, we can see the problem happening on "netperf -t TCP_RR -- -r 2000,2000" after about 60 round trips, when the active side no longer sends immediate acks. This bug predates git history.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
