[PATCH 4.17 330/336] tcp: add max_quickacks param to tcp_incr_quickack and tcp_enter_quickack_mode

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Aug 01 2018 - 14:24:51 EST


4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9a9c9b51e54618861420093ae6e9b50a961914c5 ]

We want to add finer control of the number of ACK packets sent after
ECN events.

This patch is not changing current behavior, it only enables following
change.
