Eric Dumazet 051ba67447 tcp: force a PSH flag on TSO packets 
When tcp sends a TSO packet, adding a PSH flag on it
reduces the sojourn time of GRO packet in GRO receivers.

This is particularly the case under pressure, since RX queues
receive packets for many concurrent flows.

A sender can give a hint to GRO engines when it is
appropriate to flush a super-packet, especially when pacing
is in the picture, since next packet is probably delayed by
one ms.

Having less packets in GRO engine reduces chance
of LRU eviction or inflated RTT, and reduces GRO cost.

We found recently that we must not set the PSH flag on
individual full-size MSS segments [1] :

 Under pressure (CWR state), we better let the packet sit
 for a small delay (depending on NAPI logic) so that the
 ACK packet is delayed, and thus next packet we send is
 also delayed a bit. Eventually the bottleneck queue can
 be drained. DCTCP flows with CWND=1 have demonstrated
 the issue.

This patch allows to slowdown the aggregate traffic without
involving high resolution timers on senders and/or
receivers.

It has been used at Google for about four years,
and has been discussed at various networking conferences.

[1] segments smaller than MSS already have PSH flag set
    by tcp_sendmsg() / tcp_mark_push(), unless MSG_MORE
    has been requested by the user.
