rxrpc_recvmsg_data() schedules an ACK to be transmitted every time at least two packets have been consumed and any time it runs out of data and would return -EAGAIN to the caller. Both events may occur within a single loop, however, and if the I/O thread is quick enough it may send duplicate ACKs. The ACKs are sent to inform the peer that more space has been made in the local Rx window, but the I/O thread is going to send an ACK every couple of DATA packets anyway, so we end up sending a lot more ACKs than we really need to. So reduce the rate at which recvmsg() schedules ACKs, such that if the I/O thread sends ACKs at its normal faster rate, recvmsg() won't actually schedule ACKs until the Rx flow stops (call->rx_consumed is cleared any time we transmit an ACK for that call, resetting the counter used by recvmsg).

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.
