    net/smc: correct settings of RMB window update limit · 6bf536eb

    rmbe_update_limit is used to limit announcing receive
    window updating too frequently. RFC7609 request a minimal
    increase in the window size of 10% of the receive buffer
    space. But current implementation used:
    
      min_t(int, rmbe_size / 10, SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF / 2)
    
    and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF / 2 == 2304 Bytes, which is almost
    always less then 10% of the receive buffer space.
    
    This causes the receiver always sending CDC message to
    update its consumer cursor when it consumes more then 2K
    of data. And as a result, we may encounter something like
    "TCP silly window syndrome" when sending 2.5~8K message.
    
    This patch fixes this using max(rmbe_size / 10, SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF / 2).
    
    With this patch and SMC autocorking enabled, qperf 2K/4K/8K
    tcp_bw test shows 45%/75%/40% increase in throughput respectively.
