This patch improves TCP PRR loss recovery behavior for a corner case. Previously during PRR conservation-bound mode, it strictly sends the amount equals to the amount newly acked or s/acked. The patch changes s.t. PRR may send additional amount that was banked previously (e.g. application-limited) in the conservation-bound mode, similar to the slow-start mode. This unifies and simplifies the algorithm further and may improve the recovery latency. This change still follow the general packet conservation design principle and always keep inflight/cwnd below the slow start threshold set by the congestion control module. PRR is described in RFC 6937. We'll include this change in the latest revision rfc6937-bis as well.
