mptcp: let MPTCP create max size skbs

Browse source

Currently the xmit path of the MPTCP protocol creates smaller-
than-max-size skbs, which is suboptimal for the performances.

There are a few things to improve:
- when coalescing to an existing skb, must clear the PUSH flag
- tcp_build_frag() expect the available space as an argument.
  When coalescing is enable MPTCP already subtracted the
  to-be-coalesced skb len. We must increment said argument
  accordingly.

Before:
./use_mptcp.sh netperf -H 127.0.0.1 -t TCP_STREAM

After:
./use_mptcp.sh netperf -H 127.0.0.1 -t TCP_STREAM
