Marcelo Ricardo Leitner 1636098c46 sctp: fix recovering from 0 win with small data chunks
Currently if SCTP closes the receive window with window pressure, mostly
caused by excessive skb overhead on payload/overheads ratio, SCTP will
close the window abruptly while saving the delta on rwnd_press. It will
start recovering rwnd as the chunks are consumed by the application and
the rwnd_press will be only recovered after rwnd reach the same value as
of rwnd_press, mostly to prevent silly window syndrome.

Thing is, this is very inefficient with small data chunks, as with those
it will never reach back that value, and thus it will never recover from
such pressure. This means that we will not issue window updates when
recovering from 0 window and will rely on a sender retransmit to notice
it.

The fix here is to remove such threshold, as no value is good enough: it
depends on the (avg) chunk sizes being used.

Test with netperf -t SCTP_STREAM -- -m 1, and trigger 0 window by
sending SIGSTOP to netserver, sleep 1.2, and SIGCONT.
Rate limited to 845kbps, for visibility. Capture done at netserver side.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
