Yuchung Cheng says: ==================== tcp: revert a F-RTO extension due to broken middle-boxes This patch series reverts a (non-standard) TCP F-RTO extension that aimed to detect more spurious timeouts. Unfortunately it could result in poor performance due to broken middle-boxes that modify TCP packets. E.g. https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg484154.html We believe the best and simplest solution is to just revert the change. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
