Yuchung Cheng 9f9843a751 tcp: properly handle stretch acks in slow start
Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets,
regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance
is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by
receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK,
GRO, etc).  But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of
packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree
N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A
follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1)
to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase.

In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start
(LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The
fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even
though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global
sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the
slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow
start (hystart) enabled by default.

/*
* TCP Low Priority (TCP-LP)
*
* TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only
* the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of
* bandwidth as targeted by TCP.
*
* As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
* Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from
* the original TCP-LP implementation:
* o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking
* within cong_avoid.
* o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped
* on checking and updating.
* o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, since
* OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular.
* o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within
* pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code.
* o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in
* tcp_time_stamp format.
*
* Original Author:
* Aleksandar Kuzmanovic <akuzma@northwestern.edu>
