tcp: remove obsolete check in __tcp_retransmit_skb()
TSQ provides a nice way to avoid bufferbloat on individual socket, including retransmit packets. We can get rid of the old heuristic: /* Do not sent more than we queued. 1/4 is reserved for possible * copying overhead: fragmentation, tunneling, mangling etc. */ if (refcount_read(&sk->sk_wmem_alloc) > min_t(u32, sk->sk_wmem_queued + (sk->sk_wmem_queued >> 2), sk->sk_sndbuf)) return -EAGAIN; This heuristic was giving false positives according to Jakub, whenever TX completions are delayed above RTT. (Ack packets are processed by TCP stack before clones are orphaned/freed) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
