Yuchung Cheng c4dbd9e931 UPSTREAM: tcp: up initial rmem to 128KB and SYN rwin to around 64KB
Previously TCP initial receive buffer is ~87KB by default and
the initial receive window is ~29KB (20 MSS). This patch changes
the two numbers to 128KB and ~64KB (rounding down to the multiples
of MSS) respectively. The patch also simplifies the calculations s.t.
the two numbers are directly controlled by sysctl tcp_rmem[1]:

  1) Initial receiver buffer budget (sk_rcvbuf): while this should
     be configured via sysctl tcp_rmem[1], previously tcp_fixup_rcvbuf()
     always override and set a larger size when a new connection
     establishes.

  2) Initial receive window in SYN: previously it is set to 20
     packets if MSS <= 1460. The number 20 was based on the initial
     congestion window of 10: the receiver needs twice amount to
     avoid being limited by the receive window upon out-of-order
     delivery in the first window burst. But since this only
     applies if the receiving MSS <= 1460, connection using large MTU
     (e.g. to utilize receiver zero-copy) may be limited by the
     receive window.

With this patch TCP memory configuration is more straight-forward and
more properly sized to modern high-speed networks by default. Several
popular stacks have been announcing 64KB rwin in SYNs as well.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
