This is the third revision of the TCP pluggable congestion framework with
other network changes (targeted for 2.6.13)

Minor tweaks from last time:
- startup changed because westwood and hybla
need to do setup after initial connection establishment
- initialization happens when socket is created (fixes bug with
auto module load and preempt).
- module refcounting fix for passive opens
- cleanup westwood and get rid of too much inlining
- latest version of TSO patch included in set
- fix min_cwnd undershoot bug for all but legacy reno

Hi

It is a pity it does not apply to -rc5:
Gives this reject:

***************
*** 4355,4370 ****
goto no_ack;
}

- if (eaten) {
- if (tcp_in_quickack_mode(tp)) {
- tcp_send_ack(sk);
- } else {
- tcp_send_delayed_ack(sk);
- }
- } else {
- __tcp_ack_snd_check(sk, 0);
- }
-
no_ack:
if (eaten)
__kfree_skb(skb);
--- 3719,3725 ----
goto no_ack;
}

+ __tcp_ack_snd_check(sk, 0);
no_ack:
if (eaten)
__kfree_skb(skb);

Regards,
Maciej

Keep up with the new 2.6.12-rc5
More minor tweaks:
- tcp_ack26 is already in rc5
+ change to min_cwnd to be same (ie ssthresh/2) for all reno like protocols
eventually plan to fix the cwnd undershoot bug
