TCP: Increase the max_burst threshold from 3 to tp->reordering.
[ Upstream commit: dd9e0dda66ba38a2ddd1405ac279894260dc5c36 ]
This change is necessary to allow cwnd to grow during persistent
reordering. Cwnd moderation is applied when in the disorder state
and an ack that fills the hole comes in. If the hole was greater
than 3 packets, but less than tp->reordering, cwnd will shrink when
it should not have.
