More generally, my sense is that we should tweak the is_cwnd_limited code to
shift from saying "set is_cwnd_limited to true iff the cwnd is known to be
limiting transmits" to saying "set is_cwnd_limited to true iff the packets in
flight fill the cwnd".

...

This fixes the identified problem and is a good fix as far as our tests show.

Should I resend this as PATCH v2?

Yes, please send this latest patch as a v2, with an updated commit
message, to reflect the latest diagnosis/rationale.

Thanks!
