During TCP fast recovery, the congestion control in charge is by default the Proportional Rate Reduction (PRR) unless the congestion control module specified otherwise (e.g. BBR). Previously when tcp_packets_in_flight() is below snd_ssthresh PRR would slow start upon receiving an ACK that 1) cumulatively acknowledges retransmitted data and 2) does not detect further lost retransmission Such conditions indicate the repair is in good steady progress after the first round trip of recovery. Otherwise PRR adopts the packet conservation principle to send only the amount that was newly delivered (indicated by this ACK). This patch generalizes the previous design principle to include also the newly sent data beside retransmission: as long as the delivery is making good progress, both retransmission and new data should be accounted to make PRR more cautious in slow starting.
