Eric Dumazet 85bdf7db5b tcp: make tcp_space() aware of socket backlog
Jean-Louis Dupond reported poor iscsi TCP receive performance
that we tracked to backlog drops.

Apparently we fail to send window updates reflecting the
fact that we are under stress.

Note that we might lack a proper window increase when
backlog is fully processed, since __release_sock() clears
sk->sk_backlog.len _after_ all skbs have been processed.

This should not matter in practice. If we had a significant
load through socket backlog, we are in a dangerous
situation.

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.
