SOCK_QUEUE_SHRUNK is currently used by TCP as a temporary state
that remembers if some room has been made in the rtx queue
by an incoming ACK packet.
This is later used from tcp_check_space() before
considering to send EPOLLOUT.
Problem is: If we receive SACK packets, and no packet
is removed from RTX queue, we can send fresh packets, thus
moving them from write queue to rtx queue and eventually
empty the write queue.
This stall can happen if TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT is used.
With this fix, we no longer risk stalling sends while holes
are repaired, and we can fully use socket sndbuf.
This also removes a cache line dirtying for typical RPC
workloads.

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.
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.
