tcp: allow effective reduction of TCP's rcv-buffer via setsockopt
Via setsockopt it is possible to reduce the socket RX buffer (SO_RCVBUF). TCP method to select the initial window and window scaling option in tcp_select_initial_window() currently misbehaves and do not consider a reduced RX socket buffer via setsockopt. Even though the server's RX buffer is reduced via setsockopt() to 256 byte (Initial Window 384 byte => 256 * 2 - (256 * 2 / 4)) the window scale option is still 7: 192.168.1.38.40676 > 78.47.222.210.5001: Flags [S], seq 2577214362, win 5840, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 338417 ecr 0,nop,wscale 0], length 0 78.47.222.210.5001 > 192.168.1.38.40676: Flags [S.], seq 1570631029, ack 2577214363, win 384, options [mss 1452,sackOK,TS val 2435248895 ecr 338417,nop,wscale 7], length 0 192.168.1.38.40676 > 78.47.222.210.5001: Flags [.], ack 1, win 5840, options [nop,nop,TS val 338421 ecr 2435248895], length 0 Within tcp_select_initial_window() the original space argument - a representation of the rx buffer size - is expanded during tcp_select_initial_window(). Only sysctl_tcp_rmem[2], sysctl_rmem_max and window_clamp are considered to calculate the initial window. This patch adjust the window_clamp argument if the user explicitly reduce the receive buffer.
