[ Upstream commit bbf80d713f ]
While BPF allows to set icsk->->icsk_delack_max
and/or icsk->icsk_rto_min, we have an ip route
attribute (RTAX_RTO_MIN) to be able to tune rto_min,
but nothing to consequently adjust max delayed ack,
which vary from 40ms to 200 ms (TCP_DELACK_{MIN|MAX}).
This makes RTAX_RTO_MIN of almost no practical use,
unless customers are in big trouble.
Modern days datacenter communications want to set
rto_min to ~5 ms, and the max delayed ack one jiffie
smaller to avoid spurious retransmits.
After this patch, an "rto_min 5" route attribute will
effectively lower max delayed ack timers to 4 ms.

While we could argue this patch fixes a bug with RTAX_RTO_MIN,
I do not add a Fixes: tag, so that we can soak it a bit before
asking backports to stable branches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
