tcp: remove pointless .dsack/.num_sacks code
In the pure assignment case, the earlier zeroing is still in effect. David S. Miller raised concerns if the ifs are there to avoid dirtying cachelines. I came to these conclusions: > We'll be dirty it anyway (now that I check), the first "real" statement > in tcp_rcv_established is: > > tp->rx_opt.saw_tstamp = 0; > > ...that'll land on the same dword. :-/ > > I suppose the blocks are there just because they had more complexity > inside when they had to calculate the eff_sacks too (maybe it would > have been better to just remove them in that drop-patch so you would > have had less head-ache :-)).
