      ====================
      tcp: change pingpong to 3 in delayed ack logic
      
      TCP receiver today tries not to delay the ACKs to speed up the initial
      slow start (a.k.a QUICK ACK mechanism). However the previous design
      does not work well with modern TCP applications that starts with an
      application-level handshake. For example, a HTTPs server often
      receives the SSL hello and responds right away which triggers the TCP
      stack to stop the quick ack and start delaying the ACKs based only one
      instance of ping-pong. This patchset changes the threshold from 1 to 3
      ping-pong transactions, so that we only start to delay the acks after
      the receiver responds data quickly three times.

      tcp: change pingpong threshold to 3 · 4a41f453
      Wei Wang authored
      In order to be more confident about an on-going interactive session, we
      increment pingpong count by 1 for every interactive transaction and we
      adjust TCP_PINGPONG_THRESH to 3.
      This means, we only consider a session in pingpong mode after we see 3
      interactive transactions, and start to activate delayed acks in quick
      ack mode.
      And in order to not over-count the credits, we only increase pingpong
      count for the first packet sent in response for the previous received
      packet.
      This is mainly to prevent delaying the ack immediately after some
      handshake protocol but no real interactive traffic pattern afterwards.

      tcp: Refactor pingpong code · 31954cd8
      Wei Wang authored
      Instead of using pingpong as a single bit information, we refactor the
      code to treat it as a counter. When interactive session is detected,
      we set pingpong count to TCP_PINGPONG_THRESH. And when pingpong count
      is >= TCP_PINGPONG_THRESH, we consider the session in pingpong mode.
      
      This patch is a pure refactor and sets foundation for the next patch.
      This patch itself does not change any pingpong logic.

        This has apparently never worked and could wait for v5.1. However it
        has enough visibility with hardware vendors [1] and distro bug
        trackers [2], and low enough risk that I decided it should go in for
        -rc4. The other fixups target the new, for v5.0, nvdimm security
        functionality. The larger init path fixup closes a memory leak and a
        potential userspace lockup due to missed notifications.

      net: lmc: remove -I. header search path · 085c4c7d
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      The header search path -I. in kernel Makefiles is very suspicious;
      it allows the compiler to search for headers in the top of $(srctree),
      where obviously no header file exists.
      
      I was able to build without this header search path.
