tcp: fix cwnd undo in Reno and HTCP congestion controls
Using ssthresh to revert cwnd is less reliable when ssthresh is bounded to 2 packets. This patch uses an existing variable in TCP "prior_cwnd" that snapshots the cwnd right before entering fast recovery and RTO recovery in Reno. This fixes the issue discussed in netdev thread: "A buggy behavior for Linux TCP Reno and HTCP" https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg444955.html Suggested-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Reported-by: Wei Sun <unlcsewsun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
