Description of problem: If TCP_NODELAY was previously set to 1 on the socket, setting TCP_CORK does not inhibit the kernel from sending partial frames; even if TCP_NODELAY was actually set to 0 at the time TCP_CORK was enabled. This is a regression since 2.4 and impacts httpd network performance. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.9-16.ELsmp How reproducible: I'll attach the test case.
