tcp: instrument how long TCP is limited by receive window

francisyyan · davem330 · commit 5615f88614a4 · 2016-11-30T10:04:24.000-05:00
This patch measures the total time when the TCP stops sending because
the receiver's advertised window is not large enough. Note that
once the limit is lifted we are likely in the busy status if we
have data pending.
