Subject: tcp: fix regression in urgent data handling
From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 1d57f19539c074105791da6384a8ad674bba8037 ]
Stephan Springl found that commit 1402d366019fed "tcp: introduce
tcp_try_coalesce" introduced a regression for rlogin
It turns out problem comes from TCP urgent data handling and
a change in behavior in input path.
rlogin sends two one-byte packets with URG ptr set, and when next data
frame is coalesced, we lack sk_data_ready() calls to wakeup consumer.
