Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: exponential backoff in tcp_send_ack() We had outages caused by repeated skb allocation failures in tcp_send_ack() It is time to add exponential backoff to reduce number of attempts. Before doing so, first patch removes icsk_ack.blocked to make room for a new field (icsk_ack.retry) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
