    [TCP]: Automatically compute tcp_default_win_scale. · e69f145d
    Stephen Hemminger authored
    This patch gets rid of the tcp_default_win_scale sysctl and instead
    computes the optimum maximum window scale.  It just means one less
    thing to have to tune.  I also moved the code out of the inline because
    it gets called three places and isn't in the critical path.
    
    As a side effect, it will cause a smaller window scale for many people
    since the default tcp_rmem fits in a win_scale of 2.  This is allows for
    finer grain windows (good), but may mask some of the problems with bad
    implementations we have already seen (bad).
