David Howells 1fc4fa2ac9 rxrpc: Fix congestion management
rxrpc has a problem in its congestion management in that it saves the
congestion window size (cwnd) from one call to another, but if this is 0 at
the time is saved, then the next call may not actually manage to ever
transmit anything.

To this end:

 (1) Don't save cwnd between calls, but rather reset back down to the
     initial cwnd and re-enter slow-start if data transmission is idle for
     more than an RTT.

 (2) Preserve ssthresh instead, as that is a handy estimate of pipe
     capacity.  Knowing roughly when to stop slow start and enter
     congestion avoidance can reduce the tendency to overshoot and drop
     larger amounts of packets when probing.

In future, cwind growth also needs to be constrained when the window isn't
being filled due to being application limited.

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.
