+Subject: [PATCH 05/10] tcp: tsq: add a shortcut in tcp_small_queue_check()
+
+Always allow the two first skbs in write queue to be sent,
+regardless of sk_wmem_alloc/sk_pacing_rate values.
+
+This helps a lot in situations where TX completions are delayed either
+because of driver latencies or softirq latencies.
+
+Test is done with no cache line misses.
