Some applications (like selftests/net/tcp_mmap.c) call SO_RCVLOWAT on their listener, before accept(). This has an unfortunate effect on wscale selection in tcp_select_initial_window() during 3WHS. For instance, tcp_mmap was negotiating wscale 4, regardless of tcp_rmem[2] and sysctl_rmem_max. Do not change tp->window_clamp if it is zero or bigger than our computed value. Zero value is special, it allows tcp_select_initial_window() to enable autotuning. Note that SO_RCVLOWAT use on listener is probably not wise, because tp->scaling_ratio has a default value, possibly wrong.
