[rds-devel] [PATCH net 2/2] RDS: TCP: Avoid rds connection churn from rogue SYNs

[Sowmini Varadhan]

When a rogue SYN is received after the connection arbitration
algorithm has converged, the incoming SYN should not needlessly
quiesce the transmit path, and it should not result in needless
TCP connection resets due to re-execution of the connection
arbitration logic.
