Only applies to 6.9.y, have backports for older kernels?
No, sorry - I'm just the messenger here and moved everything to 6.9 already.
Cc'ing Jakub and Eric.
My understanding is that the previous commit was a performance enhancement,
so if this turns out to be too difficult then maybe 378979e94e95 ("tcp: remove
64 KByte limit for initial tp->rcv_wnd value") should just not be merged either.
I have both patches on 6.9 but really cannot say whether they should go to
older releases.
Let's wait for Jakub or Eric.
cheers
