New Revision: 220794
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/220794

Log:
  When checking to see if a window update should be sent to the remote peer,
  don't force a window update if the window would not actually grow due to
  window scaling.  Specifically, if the window scaling factor is larger than
  2 * MSS, then after the local reader has drained 2 * MSS bytes from the
  socket, a window update can end up advertising the same window.  If this
  happens, the supposed window update actually ends up being a duplicate ACK.
  This can result in an excessive number of duplicate ACKs when using a
  higher maximum socket buffer size.
