tcp: reduce out_of_order memory use
With increasing receive window sizes, but speed of light not improved
that much, out of order queue can contain a huge number of skbs, waiting
to be moved to receive_queue when missing packets can fill the holes.
Some devices happen to use fat skbs (truesize of 4096 + sizeof(struct
sk_buff)) to store regular (MTU <= 1500) frames. This makes highly
probable sk_rmem_alloc hits sk_rcvbuf limit, which can be 4Mbytes in
many cases.
When limit is hit, tcp stack calls tcp_collapse_ofo_queue(), a true
latency killer and cpu cache blower.
Doing the coalescing attempt each time we add a frame in ofo queue
permits to keep memory use tight and in many cases avoid the
tcp_collapse() thing later.
Tested on various wireless setups (b43, ath9k, ...) known to use big skb
truesize, this patch removed the "packets collapsed in receive queue due
to low socket buffer" I had before.
This also reduced average memory used by tcp sockets.
With help from Neal Cardwell.
