commit message from Bill Fenner:
Turn on TCP_NODELAY on the remote socket, to turn off sender silly window
syndrome avoidance. The combination of SWS avoidance and ack-every-other
causes low throughput if the block size divided by the MSS is odd (which
is true with the default block size and MSS).
Turning on TCP_NODELAY disables the Nagle algorithm and sender SWS avoidance.
The rdump request/response protocol can not invoke Nagle and cannot cause
SWS, so this has no negative effects.
Also, put back the code that sets the TOS to "throughput", which seems to
have been erroneously removed during the Lite-2 merge.
filesystem. This uses fts(3) to access the directory structure (and
not the raw device), so the standard access permissions are adhered
to (unlike dumping an entire filesystem, which just requires read
access to the raw disk device).
* Support SIGINFO status reporting.
* Remove now unused variables that previously stored the (e)uid.
* Be more informative in a couple of error messages.
- Since the TCP_MAXSEG setsockopt can only descrease the MSS, and never
increase it, do an IP_TOS:IPTOS_THROUGHPUT setsockopt instead, since
dump is a bulk transfer.
