tcp: allow undo from reordered DSACKs
Previously, SACK-enabled connections hung around in TCP_CA_Disorder
state while snd_una==high_seq, just waiting to accumulate DSACKs and
hopefully undo a cwnd reduction. This could and did lead to the
following unfortunate scenario: if some incoming ACKs advance snd_una
beyond high_seq then we were setting undo_marker to 0 and moving to
TCP_CA_Open, so if (due to reordering in the ACK return path) we
shortly thereafter received a DSACK then we were no longer able to
undo the cwnd reduction.
The change: Simplify the congestion avoidance state machine by
removing the behavior where SACK-enabled connections hung around in
the TCP_CA_Disorder state just waiting for DSACKs. Instead, when
snd_una advances to high_seq or beyond we typically move to
TCP_CA_Open immediately and allow an undo in either TCP_CA_Open or
TCP_CA_Disorder if we later receive enough DSACKs.
Other patches in this series will provide other changes that are
necessary to fully fix this problem.
