tcp: tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() should be more conservative
Currently, tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() sends an ack if prior acks were 'compressed', if room has to be made in tp->selective_acks[] But there is no guarantee all four sack ranges can be included in SACK option. As a matter of fact, when TCP timestamps option is used, only three SACK ranges can be included. Lets assume only two ranges can be included, and force the ack: - When we touch more than 2 ranges in the reordering done if tcp_sack_extend() could be done. - If we have at least 2 ranges when adding a new one. This enforces that before a range is in third or fourth position, at least one ACK packet included it in first/second position.
