Eric Dumazet b0e01253a7 tcp: refine tcp_prune_ofo_queue() logic
After commits 36a6503fed ("tcp: refine tcp_prune_ofo_queue()
to not drop all packets") and 72cd43ba64
("tcp: free batches of packets in tcp_prune_ofo_queue()")
tcp_prune_ofo_queue() drops a fraction of ooo queue,
to make room for incoming packet.

However it makes no sense to drop packets that are
before the incoming packet, in sequence space.

In order to recover from packet losses faster,
it makes more sense to only drop ooo packets
which are after the incoming packet.

Tested:
packetdrill test:
   0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
   +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
   +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, [3800], 4) = 0

README

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.
