From 466466dc6c28ca9dc401f10e235b9cde9a7c9162 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuchung Cheng Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2018 09:38:09 -0700 Subject: tcp: mandate a one-time immediate ACK Add a new flag to indicate a one-time immediate ACK. This flag is occasionaly set under specific TCP protocol states in addition to the more common quickack mechanism for interactive application. In several cases in the TCP code we want to force an immediate ACK but do not want to call tcp_enter_quickack_mode() because we do not want to forget the icsk_ack.pingpong or icsk_ack.ato state.
