[PATCH mptcp-next 0/3] mptcp: support disabling Nagle's algorithm

Posted by Maxim Galaganov 4 years, 2 months ago

Clients for MPTCP-enabled transparent proxies may experience unwanted
delays when Nagle's algorithm combines small packets into larger ones.

This series adds support for TCP_NODELAY socket option in [gs]etsockopt
for MPTCP sockets. It also adds TCP_CORK support since the two are
closely coupled.

Patch 1 exposes __tcp_sock_set_cork() and __tcp_sock_set_nodelay() for
use in patch 3.

Patch 2 exposes mptcp_check_and_set_pending() for setting the
MPTCP_PUSH_PENDING bit when cork is cleared or nodelay is set.

Patch 3 adds support for getting and setting the cork and nodelay
sockopts.

Maxim Galaganov (3):
  tcp: expose __tcp_sock_set_cork and __tcp_sock_set_nodelay
  mptcp: expose mptcp_check_and_set_pending
  mptcp: support TCP_CORK and TCP_NODELAY

Thank you for the patches, the new test and the review!

This series is now in our tree (features for net-next) with Paolo's Ack
