mptcp: really share subflow snd_wnd
As per RFC, mptcp subflows use a "shared" snd_wnd: the effective window is the maximum among the current values received on all subflows. Without such feature a data transfer using multiple subflows could block. Window sharing is currently implemented in the RX side: __tcp_select_window uses the mptcp-level receive buffer to compute the announced window. That is not enough: the TCP stack will stick to the window size received on the given subflow; we need to propagate the msk window value on each subflow at xmit time. Change the packet scheduler to ignore the subflow level window and use instead the msk level one Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mat Martineau <mathew.j.martineau@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
