tcp: add an ability to dump and restore window parameters
We found that sometimes a restored tcp socket doesn't work.
A reason of this bug is incorrect window parameters and in this case
tcp_acceptable_seq() returns tcp_wnd_end(tp) instead of tp->snd_nxt. The
other side drops packets with this seq, because seq is less than
tp->rcv_nxt ( tcp_sequence() ).
Data from a send queue is sent only if there is enough space in a
window, so when we restore unacked data, we need to expand a window to
fit this data.
This was in a first version of this patch:
"tcp: extend window to fit all restored unacked data in a send queue"
Then Alexey recommended me to restore window parameters instead of
adjusted them according with data in a sent queue. This sounds resonable.
rcv_wnd has to be restored, because it was reported to another side
and the offered window is never shrunk.
One of reasons why we need to restore snd_wnd was described above.
