+ Adjustment of TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt
+
+ Starting from linux-5.18, TCP autosizing can be tweaked
+ for flows having small RTT.
+
+ Old autosizing was splitting the pacing budget to send 1024 TSO
+ per second.
+
+ tso_packet_size = sk->sk_pacing_rate / 1024;
+
+ With the new mechanism, we increase this TSO sizing using:
+
+ distance = min_rtt_usec / (2^tcp_tso_rtt_log)
+ tso_packet_size += gso_max_size >> distance;
+
+ This means that flows between very close hosts can use bigger
+ TSO packets, reducing their cpu costs.
+
+ If you want to use the old autosizing, set this sysctl to 0.

+ Default: 9 (2^9 = 512 usec)

tcp_pacing_ss_ratio - INTEGER
sk->sk_pacing_rate is set by TCP stack using a ratio applied
to current rate. (current_rate = cwnd * mss / srtt)
