Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

RFC8684 allows to send 32-bit DATA_ACKs as long as the peer is not sending 64-bit data-sequence numbers. The 64-bit DSN is only there for extreme scenarios when a very high throughput subflow is combined with a long-RTT subflow such that the high-throughput subflow wraps around the 32-bit sequence number space within an RTT of the high-RTT subflow. It is thus a rare scenario and we should try to use the 32-bit DATA_ACK instead as long as possible. It allows to reduce the TCP-option overhead by 4 bytes, thus makes space for an additional SACK-block. It also makes tcpdumps much easier to read when the DSN and DATA_ACK are both either 32 or 64-bit. Signed-off-by:Christoph Paasch <cpaasch@apple.com> Reviewed-by:
