[TCP] FRTO: RFC4138 allows Nagle override when new data must be sent
This is a corner case where less than MSS sized new data thingie is awaiting in the send queue. For F-RTO to work correctly, a new data segment must be sent at certain point or F-RTO cannot be used at all. RFC4138 allows overriding of Nagle at that point. Implementation uses frto_counter states 2 and 3 to distinguish when Nagle override is needed. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
