commit f921a4a5bffa8a0005b190fb9421a7fc1fd716b6 upstream. In commit75eefc6c59("tcp: tsq: add a shortcut in tcp_small_queue_check()") we allowed to send an skb regardless of TSQ limits being hit if rtx queue was empty or had a single skb, in order to better fill the pipe when/if TX completions were slow. Then later, commit75c119afe1("tcp: implement rb-tree based retransmit queue") accidentally removed the special case for one skb in rtx queue. Stefan Wahren reported a regression in single TCP flow throughput using a 100Mbit fec link, starting from commit 65466904b015 ("tcp: adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt"). This last commit only made the regression more visible, because it locked the TCP flow on a particular behavior where TSQ prevented two skbs being pushed downstream, adding silences on the wire between each TSO packet. Many thanks to Stefan for his invaluable help !

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
