Eric Dumazet e305845096 dctcp: more accurate tracking of packets delivery
After commit e21db6f69a ("tcp: track total bytes delivered with ECN CE marks")
core TCP stack does a very good job tracking ECN signals.

The "sender's best estimate of CE information" Yuchung mentioned in his
patch is indeed the best we can do.

DCTCP can use tp->delivered_ce and tp->delivered to not duplicate the logic,
and use the existing best estimate.

This solves some problems, since current DCTCP logic does not deal with losses
and/or GRO or ack aggregation very well.

This also removes a dubious use of inet_csk(sk)->icsk_ack.rcv_mss
(this should have been tp->mss_cache), and a 64 bit divide.

Finally, we can see that the DCTCP logic, calling dctcp_update_alpha() for
every ACK could be done differently, calling it only once per RTT.

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.
