Subject: tcp: fix under-evaluated ssthresh in TCP Vegas
From: Hoang Tran <tranviethoang.vn@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit cf5d74b85ef40c202c76d90959db4d850f301b95 ]
With the commit 76174004a0f19785 (tcp: do not slow start when cwnd equals
ssthresh), the comparison to the reduced cwnd in tcp_vegas_ssthresh() would
under-evaluate the ssthresh.
