With SO_RCVLOWAT, under memory pressure, it is possible to enter a state where: 1. We have not received enough bytes to satisfy SO_RCVLOWAT. 2. We have not entered buffer pressure (see tcp_rmem_pressure()). 3. But, we do not have enough buffer space to accept more packets. In this case, we advertise 0 rwnd (due to #3) but the application does not drain the receive queue (no wakeup because of #1 and #2) so the flow stalls. Modify the heuristic for SO_RCVLOWAT so that, if we are advertising rwnd<=rcv_mss, force a wakeup to prevent a stall. Without this patch, setting tcp_rmem to 6143 and disabling TCP autotune causes a stalled flow. With this patch, no stall occurs. This is with RPC-style traffic with large messages.

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.
