David Howells 8637abaa72 rxrpc: Don't transmit DELAY ACKs immediately on proposal
Don't transmit a DELAY ACK immediately on proposal when the Rx window is
rotated, but rather defer it to the work function.  This means that we have
a chance to queue/consume more received packets before we actually send the
DELAY ACK, or even cancel it entirely, thereby reducing the number of
packets transmitted.

We do, however, want to continue sending other types of packet immediately,
particularly REQUESTED ACKs, as they may be used for RTT calculation by the
other side.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
