tcp: preserve ACK clocking in TSO
[ Upstream commit f4541d60a449afd40448b06496dcd510f505928e ]
A long standing problem with TSO is the fact that tcp_tso_should_defer()
rearms the deferred timer, while it should not.
Current code leads to following bad bursty behavior :
20:11:24.484333 IP A > B: . 297161:316921(19760) ack 1 win 119
20:11:24.484337 IP B > A: . ack 263721 win 1117

20:11:24.501398 IP A > B: . 332881:351881(19000) ack 1 win 119
While the expected behavior is more like :
20:19:49.259620 IP A > B: . 197601:202161(4560) ack 1 win 119
20:19:49.260446 IP B > A: . ack 154281 win 1212
