With large BDP TCP flows and lossy networks, it is very important to keep a low number of skbs in the write queue. RACK and SACK processing can perform a linear scan of it. We should avoid putting any payload in skb->head, so that SACK shifting can be done if needed. With this patch, we allow to pack ~0.5 MB per skb instead of the 64KB initially cooked at tcp_sendmsg() time. This gives a reduction of number of skbs in write queue by eight. tcp_rack_detect_loss() likes this. We still allow payload in skb->head for first skb put in the queue, to not impact RPC workloads.
