Subject: [PATCH] tcp: do not update snd_una if it is same with ack_seq
Date: Sun,  4 Nov 2018 00:54:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1541264071-9905-1-git-send-email-laoar.shao@gmail.com> (raw)

In the slow path, TCP_SKB_SB(skb)->ack_seq may be same with tp->snd_una,
and under this condition we don't need to update the snd_una.

Furthermore, tcp_ack_update_window() is only called in slow path,
so introducing this check won't affect the fast path processing.

By the way, '&' is a little faster than '-', so I replaced after() with
"flag & FLAG_SND_UNA_ADVANCED".
