tcp: Don't use TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP
On the L2 tap side, we see TCP headers and know the TCP window that the ultimate receiver is advertising. In order to avoid unnecessary buffering within passt/pasta (or by the kernel on passt/pasta's behalf) we attempt to advertise that window back to the original sock-side sender using TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP. However, TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP just doesn't work like this. Prior to kernel commit 3aa7857fe1d7 ("tcp: enable mid stream window clamp"), it simply had no effect on established sockets. After that commit, it does affect established sockets but doesn't behave the way we need: * It appears to be designed only to shrink the window, not to allow it to re-expand. * More importantly, that commit has a serious bug where if the setsockopt() is made when the existing kernel advertised window for the socket happens to be zero, it will now become locked at zero, stopping any further data from being received on the socket. Since this has never worked as intended, simply remove it. It might be possible to re-implement the intended behaviour by manipulating SO_RCVBUF, so we leave a comment to that effect. This kernel bug is the underlying cause of both the linked passt bug and the linked podman bug. We attempted to fix this before with passt commitd3192f67
("tcp: Force TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP before resetting STALLED flag"). However while that commit masked the bug for some cases, it didn't really address the problem. Fixes:d3192f67c4
