Also collapsed some multiple tabs to single space.

758ce5c8d1 tcp: add helper for AI algorithm
It seems that implementation in yeah was inconsistent to what
other did as it would increase cwnd one ack earlier than the
others do.

Size benefits:

  bictcp_cong_avoid |  -36
  tcp_cong_avoid_ai |  +52
  bictcp_cong_avoid |  -34
  tcp_scalable_cong_avoid |  -36
  tcp_veno_cong_avoid |  -12
  tcp_yeah_cong_avoid |  -38

= -104 bytes total

159131149c tcp: Overflow bug in Vegas
From: Lachlan Andrew <lachlan.andrew@gmail.com>

There is an overflow bug in net/ipv4/tcp_vegas.c for large BDPs
(e.g. 400Mbit/s, 400ms).  The multiplication (old_wnd *
vegas->baseRTT) << V_PARAM_SHIFT overflows a u32.

[ Fix tcp_veno.c too, it has similar calculations. -DaveM ]

30cfd0baf0 [TCP]: congestion control API pass RTT in microseconds
This patch changes the API for the callback that is done after an ACK is
received. It solves a couple of issues:

  * Some congestion controls want higher resolution value of RTT
    (controlled by TCP_CONG_RTT_SAMPLE flag). These don't really want a ktime, but
    all compute a RTT in microseconds.

  * Other congestion control could use RTT at jiffies resolution.

To keep API consistent the units should be the same for both cases, just the
resolution should change.

16751347a0 [TCP]: remove unused argument to cong_avoid op
None of the existing TCP congestion controls use the rtt value pased
in the ca_ops->cong_avoid interface.  Which is lucky because seq_rtt
could have been -1 when handling a duplicate ack.

b9ce204f0a [TCP]: Congestion control API RTT sampling fix
Commit 164891aadf broke RTT
sampling of congestion control modules. Inaccurate timestamps
could be fed to them without providing any way for them to
identify such cases. Previously RTT sampler was called only if
FLAG_RETRANS_DATA_ACKED was not set filtering inaccurate
timestamps nicely. In addition, the new behavior could give an
invalid timestamp (zero) to RTT sampler if only skbs with
TCPCB_RETRANS were ACKed. This solves both problems.

164891aadf [TCP]: Congestion control API update.
Do some simple changes to make congestion control API faster/cleaner.
* use ktime_t rather than timeval
* merge rtt sampling into existing ack callback
  this means one indirect call versus two per ack.
* use flags bits to store options/settings

72dc5b9225 [TCP]: Minimum congestion window consolidation.
Many of the TCP congestion methods all just use ssthresh
as the minimum congestion window on decrease.  Rather than
duplicating the code, just have that be the default if that
handle in the ops structure is not set.

Minor behaviour change to TCP compound.  It probably wants
to use this (ssthresh) as lower bound, rather than ssthresh/2
because the latter causes undershoot on loss.

76f1017757 [TCP]: TCP Veno congestion control
TCP Veno module is a new congestion control module to improve TCP
performance over wireless networks. The key innovation in TCP Veno is
the enhancement of TCP Reno/Sack congestion control algorithm by using
the estimated state of a connection based on TCP Vegas. This scheme
significantly reduces "blind" reduction of TCP window regardless of
the cause of packet loss.

This work is based on the research paper "TCP Veno: TCP Enhancement
for Transmission over Wireless Access Networks." C. P. Fu, S. C. Liew,
IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, Feb. 2003.
