tcp: add tp->dup_ack_counter
In commit 86de5921a3
("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.
