Eric Dumazet 1a9914884d tcp: batch calls to sk_flush_backlog()
Starting from commit d41a69f1d3 ("tcp: make tcp_sendmsg() aware of socket backlog")
loopback flows got hurt, because for each skb sent, the socket receives an
immediate ACK and sk_flush_backlog() causes extra work.

Intent was to not let the backlog grow too much, but we went a bit too far.

We can check the backlog every 16 skbs (about 1MB chunks)
to increase TCP over loopback performance by about 15 %

Note that the call to sk_flush_backlog() handles a single ACK,
thanks to coalescing done on backlog, but cleans the 16 skbs
found in rtx rb-tree.

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.
