Since my MTU is 1500 I assume that the network card will split this then in MTU sized packets, is that correct? Should I repeat the test with MTU 9000 as well? > Please try following updated patch, thanks! This time it took 2 seconds instead of 4 seconds (3.12) to create the filesystem. Find pcap here: https://thomas.glanzmann.de/tmp/tcp_auto_corking_on_patched_tcp_more_notlast.pcap.bz2 > Once tested, we'll submit it formally. Let me know if you want to submit or I should. If I should do it I would split it up in two patches, one for the interface change and one for the packet submission logic. Btw. your last patches did not apply for me because I cut & pasted them from e-mail instead of saving it in an editor this one. So your patch was fine but they way I tried to apply it was flawed.
