It does not affect either mss-sized connections (obviously) or

The idea is to record the fact that a small segment arrives on a

still not-ACKed. In this case ACK is forced after tcp_recvmsg() drains
receive buffer.
In other words, it is a "soft" each-2nd-segment ACK, which is enough
to preserve ACK clock even when ABC is enabled.
