[ Upstream commit 9a3dedcf18096e8f7f22b8777d78c4acfdea1651 ]
Fix the decision on when to generate an IDLE ACK by keeping a count of the
number of packets we've received, but not yet soft-ACK'd, and the number of
packets we've processed, but not yet hard-ACK'd, rather than trying to keep
track of which DATA sequence numbers correspond to those points.
We then generate an ACK when either counter exceeds 2. The counters are
both cleared when we transcribe the information into any sort of ACK packet
for transmission. IDLE and DELAY ACKs are skipped if both counters are 0
(ie. no change).
Fixes: 805b21b929e2 ("rxrpc: Send an ACK after every few DATA packets we receive")

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.
