tcp: collapse more than two on retransmission
I always had thought that collapsing up to two at a time was intentional decision to avoid excessive processing if 1 byte sized skbs are to be combined for a full mtu, and consecutive retransmissions would make the size of the retransmittee double each round anyway, but some recent discussion made me to understand that was not the case. Thus make collapse work more and wait less. It would be possible to take advantage of the shifting machinery (added in the later patch) in the case of paged data but that can be implemented on top of this change. tcp_skb_is_last check is now provided by the loop. I tested a bit (ss-after-idle-off, fill 4096x4096B xfer, 10s sleep + 4096 x 1byte writes while dropping them for some a while with netem): . 16774097:16775545(1448) ack 1 win 46 . 16775545:16776993(1448) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16759617 win 2399 P 16776993:16777217(224) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16762513 win 2399 . ack 16765409 win 2399 . ack 16768305 win 2399 . ack 16771201 win 2399 . ack 16774097 win 2399 . ack 16776993 win 2399 . ack 16777217 win 2399 P 16777217:16777257(40) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16777257 win 2399 P 16777257:16778705(1448) ack 1 win 46 P 16778705:16780153(1448) ack 1 win 46 FP 16780153:16781313(1160) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16778705 win 2399 . ack 16780153 win 2399 F 1:1(0) ack 16781314 win 2399 While without drop-all period I get this: . 16773585:16775033(1448) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16764897 win 9367 . ack 16767793 win 9367 . ack 16770689 win 9367 . ack 16773585 win 9367 . 16775033:16776481(1448) ack 1 win 46 P 16776481:16777217(736) ack 1 win 46 . ack 16776481 win 9367 . ack 16777217 win 9367 P 16777217:16777218(1) ack 1 win 46 P 16777218:16777219(1) ack 1 win 46 P 16777219:16777220(1) ack 1 win 46 ...
