This patch limits the amount of time you will defer sending a TSO segment to less than two clock ticks, or the time between two acks, whichever is longer.
Okay, but doing any timing on clock ticks makes the behavior dependent on the value of HZ which doesn't seem desirable. Should this be based on RTT or a real-time values?
It would be nice to use a high res clock so you don't depend on HZ, but this is still expensive on most SMP arch's as I understand it.
