Eric Dumazet ac3959fd0d tcp: remove obsolete check in __tcp_retransmit_skb()
TSQ provides a nice way to avoid bufferbloat on individual socket,
including retransmit packets. We can get rid of the old
heuristic:

	/* Do not sent more than we queued. 1/4 is reserved for possible
	 * copying overhead: fragmentation, tunneling, mangling etc.
	 */
	if (refcount_read(&sk->sk_wmem_alloc) >
	    min_t(u32, sk->sk_wmem_queued + (sk->sk_wmem_queued >> 2),
		  sk->sk_sndbuf))
		return -EAGAIN;

This heuristic was giving false positives according to Jakub,
whenever TX completions are delayed above RTT. (Ack packets
are processed by TCP stack before clones are orphaned/freed)

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.
