[PATCH v2 net-next] tcp: fix ABC in tcp_slow_start()

From: Eric Dumazet <hidden>
Date: 2012-07-20 15:02:39
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [tcp], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Neal Cardwell, Linus Torvalds

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

When/if sysctl_tcp_abc > 1, we expect to increase cwnd by 2 if the
received ACK acknowledges more than 2*MSS bytes, in tcp_slow_start()

Problem is this RFC 3465 statement is not correctly coded, as
the while () loop increases snd_cwnd one by one.

Add a new variable to avoid this off-by one error.
