6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 966a675da844f1a764bb44557c21561cc3d09840 upstream.
I noticed that a handful of NFSv3 fstests were taking an
unexpectedly long time to run. Troubleshooting showed that the
server's TCP window closed and never re-opened, which caused the
client to trigger an RPC retransmit timeout after 180 seconds.
The client's recovery action was to establish a fresh connection
and retransmit the timed-out requests. This worked, but it adds a
long delay.
I tracked the problem to the commit that attempted to reduce the
rate at which the network layer delivers TCP socket data_ready
callbacks. Under most circumstances this change worked as expected,
but for NFSv3, which has no session or other type of throttling, it
can overwhelm the receiver on occasion.
I'm sure I could tweak the lowat settings, but the small benefit
doesn't seem worth the bother. Just revert it.
