In commit 86de5921 ("tcp: defer SACK compression after DupThresh") I added a TCP_FASTRETRANS_THRESH bias to tp->compressed_ack in order to enable sack compression only after 3 dupacks. Since we plan to relax this rule for flows that involve stacks not requiring this old rule, this patch adds a distinct tp->dup_ack_counter. This means the TCP_FASTRETRANS_THRESH value is now used in a single location that a future patch can adjust: if (tp->dup_ack_counter < TCP_FASTRETRANS_THRESH) { tp->dup_ack_counter++; goto send_now; } This patch also introduces tcp_sack_compress_send_ack() helper to ease following patch comprehension. This patch refines LINUX_MIB_TCPACKCOMPRESSED to not count the acks that we had to send if the timer expires or tcp_sack_compress_send_ack() is sending an ack.
