Marcelo Ricardo Leitner 58b94d88de sctp: do not loose window information if in rwnd_over
It's possible that we receive a packet that is larger than current
window. If it's the first packet in this way, it will cause it to
increase rwnd_over. Then, if we receive another data chunk (specially as
SCTP allows you to have one data chunk in flight even during 0 window),
rwnd_over will be overwritten instead of added to.

In the long run, this could cause the window to grow bigger than its
initial size, as rwnd_over would be charged only for the last received
data chunk while the code will try open the window for all packets that
were received and had its value in rwnd_over overwritten. This, then,
can lead to the worsening of payload/buffer ratio and cause rwnd_press
to kick in more often.

The fix is to sum it too, same as is done for rwnd_press, so that if we
receive 3 chunks after closing the window, we still have to release that
same amount before re-opening it.

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.
