Accept MSG_ZEROCOPY in all the TCP states that allow sendmsg. Remove
the explicit check for ESTABLISHED and CLOSE_WAIT states.
This requires correctly handling zerocopy state (uarg, sk_zckey) in
all paths reachable from other TCP states. Such as the EPIPE case
in sk_stream_wait_connect, which a sendmsg() in incorrect state will
now hit. Most paths are already safe.
Only extension needed is for TCP Fastopen active open. This can build
an skb with data in tcp_send_syn_data. Pass the uarg along with other
fastopen state, so that this skb also generates a zerocopy
notification on release.

Previously when the sender fails to send (original) data packet or
window probes due to congestion in the local host (e.g. throttling
in qdisc), it'll retry within an RTO or two up to 500ms.
In low-RTT networks such as data-centers, RTO is often far below
the default minimum 200ms. Then local host congestion could trigger
a retry storm pouring gas to the fire. Worse yet, the probe counter
(icsk_probes_out) is not properly updated so the aggressive retry
may exceed the system limit (15 rounds) until the packet finally
slips through.
On such rare events, it's wise to retry more conservatively
(500ms) and update the stats properly to reflect these incidents
and follow the system limit. Note that this is consistent with
the behaviors when a keep-alive probe or RTO retry is dropped
due to local congestion.

Previously TCP socket's retrans_stamp is not set if the
retransmission has failed to send. As a result if a socket is
experiencing local issues to retransmit packets, determining when
to abort a socket is complicated w/o knowning the starting time of
the recovery since retrans_stamp may remain zero.
This complication causes sub-optimal behavior that TCP may use the
latest, instead of the first, retransmission time to compute the
elapsed time of a stalling connection due to local issues. Then TCP
may disrecard TCP retries settings and keep retrying until it finally
succeed: not a good idea when the local host is already strained.
The simple fix is to always timestamp the start of a recovery.
It's worth noting that retrans_stamp is also used to compare echo
timestamp values to detect spurious recovery. This patch does
not break that because retrans_stamp is still later than when the
original packet was sent.

Previously TCP skbs are not always timestamped if the transmission
failed due to memory or other local issues. This makes deciding
when to abort a socket tricky and complicated because the first
unacknowledged skb's timestamp may be 0 on TCP timeout.
The straight-forward fix is to always timestamp skb on every
transmission attempt. Also every skb retransmission needs to be
flagged properly to avoid RTT under-estimation. This can happen
upon receiving an ACK for the original packet and the a previous
(spurious) retransmission has failed.
It's worth noting that this reverts to the old time-stamping
style before commit 8c72c65b42 ("tcp: update skb->skb_mstamp more
carefully") which addresses a problem in computing the elapsed time
of a stalled window-probing socket. The problem will be addressed
differently in the next patches with a simpler approach.

Several conflicts, seemingly all over the place.
I used Stephen Rothwell's sample resolutions for many of these, if not
just to double check my own work, so definitely the credit largely
goes to him.
The NFP conflict consisted of a bug fix (moving operations
past the rhashtable operation) while chaning the initial
argument in the function call in the moved code.
The net/dsa/master.c conflict had to do with a bug fix intermixing of
making dsa_master_set_mtu() static with the fixing of the tagging
attribute location.
cls_flower had a conflict because the dup reject fix from Or
overlapped with the addition of port range classifiction.
__set_phy_supported()'s conflict was relatively easy to resolve
because Andrew fixed it in both trees, so it was just a matter
of taking the net-next copy. Or at least I think it was :-)
Joe Stringer's fix to the handling of netns id 0 in bpf_sk_lookup()
intermixed with changes on how the sdif and caller_net are calculated
in these code paths in net-next.
The remaining BPF conflicts were largely about the addition of the

to the relevant data structure where the MD pointer macros are used.

Jean-Louis reported a TCP regression and bisected to recent SACK
compression.
After a loss episode (receiver not able to keep up and dropping
packets because its backlog is full), linux TCP stack is sending
a single SACK (DUPACK).
Sender waits a full RTO timer before recovering losses.
While RFC 6675 says in section 5, "Algorithm Details",
(2) If DupAcks < DupThresh but IsLost (HighACK + 1) returns true --
indicating at least three segments have arrived above the current
cumulative acknowledgment point, which is taken to indicate loss
-- go to step (4).
...
(4) Invoke fast retransmit and enter loss recovery as follows:
there are old TCP stacks not implementing this strategy, and
still counting the dupacks before starting fast retransmit.
While these stacks probably perform poorly when receivers implement
LRO/GRO, we should be a little more gentle to them.
This patch makes sure we do not enable SACK compression unless
3 dupacks have been sent since last rcv_nxt update.
Ideally we should even rearm the timer to send one or two
more DUPACK if no more packets are coming, but that will
be work aiming for linux-4.21.
Many thanks to Jean-Louis for bisecting the issue, providing
packet captures and testing this patch.

With EDT model, SRTT no longer is inflated by pacing delays.
This means that RTO and some other xmit timers might be setup
incorrectly. This is particularly visible with either :
- Very small enforced pacing rates (SO_MAX_PACING_RATE)
- Reduced rto (from the default 200 ms)
This can lead to TCP flows aborts in the worst case,
or spurious retransmits in other cases.

When TCP implements its own pacing (when no fq packet scheduler is used),
it is arming high resolution timer after a packet is sent.
But in many cases (like TCP_RR kind of workloads), this high resolution
timer expires before the application attempts to write the following
packet. This overhead also happens when the flow is ACK clocked and
cwnd limited instead of being limited by the pacing rate.
This leads to extra overhead (high number of IRQ)
Now tcp_wstamp_ns is reserved for the pacing timer only
(after commit "tcp: do not change tcp_wstamp_ns in tcp_mstamp_refresh"),
we can setup the timer only when a packet is about to be sent,
and if tcp_wstamp_ns is in the future.
This leads to a ~10% performance increase in TCP_RR workloads.

In commit fefa569a9d ("net_sched: sch_fq: account for schedule/timers

This patch does the same in TCP stack, now it is using EDT model.
Note that this mitigation is valid for both external (fq packet scheduler)
or internal TCP pacing.
This uses the same strategy than the above commit, allowing
a time credit of half the packet currently sent.
Consider following case :
An skb is sent, after an idle period of 300 usec.
The air-time (skb->len/pacing_rate) is 500 usec
Instead of setting the pacing timer to now+500 usec,
it will use now+min(500/2, 300) -> now+250usec
This is like having a token bucket with a depth of half
an skb.

sk_pacing_rate has beed introduced as a u32 field in 2013,
effectively limiting per flow pacing to 34Gbit.
We believe it is time to allow TCP to pace high speed flows
on 64bit hosts, as we now can reach 100Gbit on one TCP flow.
This patch adds no cost for 32bit kernels.
The tcpi_pacing_rate and tcpi_max_pacing_rate were already
exported as 64bit, so iproute2/ss command require no changes.
Unfortunately the SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option will stay
32bit and we will need to add a new option to let applications
control high pacing rates.

In EDT design, I made the mistake of using tcp_wstamp_ns
to store the last tcp_clock_ns() sample and to store the
pacing virtual timer.
This causes major regressions at high speed flows.
Introduce tcp_clock_cache to store last tcp_clock_ns().
This is needed because some arches have slow high-resolution
kernel time service.
tcp_wstamp_ns is only updated when a packet is sent.
Note that we can remove tcp_mstamp in the future since
tcp_mstamp is essentially tcp_clock_cache/1000, so the

Previously TCP initial receive buffer is ~87KB by default and
the initial receive window is ~29KB (20 MSS). This patch changes
the two numbers to 128KB and ~64KB (rounding down to the multiples
of MSS) respectively. The patch also simplifies the calculations s.t.
the two numbers are directly controlled by sysctl tcp_rmem[1]:
1) Initial receiver buffer budget (sk_rcvbuf): while this should
be configured via sysctl tcp_rmem[1], previously tcp_fixup_rcvbuf()
always override and set a larger size when a new connection
establishes.
2) Initial receive window in SYN: previously it is set to 20
packets if MSS <= 1460. The number 20 was based on the initial
congestion window of 10: the receiver needs twice amount to
avoid being limited by the receive window upon out-of-order
delivery in the first window burst. But since this only
applies if the receiving MSS <= 1460, connection using large MTU
(e.g. to utilize receiver zero-copy) may be limited by the
receive window.
With this patch TCP memory configuration is more straight-forward and
more properly sized to modern high-speed networks by default. Several
popular stacks have been announcing 64KB rwin in SYNs as well.

TCP keeps track of tcp_wstamp_ns by itself, meaning sch_fq
no longer has to do it.
Thanks to this model, TCP can get more accurate RTT samples,
since pacing no longer inflates them.
This has the nice effect of removing some delays caused by FQ
quantum mechanism, causing inflated max/P99 latencies.
Also we might relax TCP Small Queue tight limits in the future,
since this new model allow TCP to build bigger batches, since
sch_fq (or a device with earliest departure time offload) ensure
these packets will be delivered on time.
Note that other protocols are not converted (they will probably
never be) so sch_fq has still support for SO_MAX_PACING_RATE
Tested:
Test showing FQ pacing quantum artifact for low-rate flows,
adding unexpected throttles for RPC flows, inflating max and P99 latencies.
The parameters chosen here are to show what happens typically when
a TCP flow has a reduced pacing rate (this can be caused by a reduced

Currently when a DCTCP receiver delays an ACK and receive a
data packet with a different CE mark from the previous one's, it
sends two immediate ACKs acking previous and latest sequences
respectly (for ECN accounting).
Previously sending the first ACK may mark off the delayed ACK timer
(tcp_event_ack_sent). This may subsequently prevent sending the
second ACK to acknowledge the latest sequence (tcp_ack_snd_check).
The culprit is that tcp_send_ack() assumes it always acknowleges
the latest sequence, which is not true for the first special ACK.
The fix is to not make the assumption in tcp_send_ack and check the
actual ack sequence before cancelling the delayed ACK. Further it's
safer to pass the ack sequence number as a local variable into
tcp_send_ack routine, instead of intercepting tp->rcv_nxt to avoid
future bugs like this.

When TCP receives an out-of-order packet, it immediately sends
a SACK packet, generating network load but also forcing the
receiver to send 1-MSS pathological packets, increasing its
RTX queue length/depth, and thus processing time.
Wifi networks suffer from this aggressive behavior, but generally
speaking, all these SACK packets add fuel to the fire when networks
are under congestion.
This patch adds a high resolution timer and tp->compressed_ack counter.
Instead of sending a SACK, we program this timer with a small delay,
based on RTT and capped to 1 ms :
delay = min ( 5 % of RTT, 1 ms)
If subsequent SACKs need to be sent while the timer has not yet
expired, we simply increment tp->compressed_ack.
When timer expires, a SACK is sent with the latest information.
Whenever an ACK is sent (if data is sent, or if in-order
data is received) timer is canceled.
Note that tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() is able to force a SACK to be sent
if the sack blocks need to be shuffled, even if the timer has not
expired.
A new SNMP counter is added in the following patch.
Two other patches add sysctls to allow changing the 1,000,000 and 44
values that this commit hard-coded.

In tcp_select_initial_window(), we only set rcv_wnd to
tcp_default_init_rwnd() if current mss > (1 << wscale). Otherwise,
rcv_wnd is kept at the full receive space of the socket which is a
value way larger than tcp_default_init_rwnd().
With larger initial rcv_wnd value, receive buffer autotuning logic
takes longer to kick in and increase the receive buffer.
In a TCP throughput test where receiver has rmem[2] set to 125MB
(wscale is 11), we see the connection gets recvbuf limited at the
beginning of the connection and gets less throughput overall.

BBR uses tcp_tso_autosize() in an attempt to probe what would be the
burst sizes and to adjust cwnd in bbr_target_cwnd() with following
gold formula :
/* Allow enough full-sized skbs in flight to utilize end systems. */
cwnd += 3 * bbr->tso_segs_goal;
But GSO can be lacking or be constrained to very small
units (ip link set dev ... gso_max_segs 2)
What we really want is to have enough packets in flight so that both
GSO and GRO are efficient.
So in the case GSO is off or downgraded, we still want to have the same
number of packets in flight as if GSO/TSO was fully operational, so
that GRO can hopefully be working efficiently.
To fix this issue, we make tcp_tso_autosize() unaware of
sk->sk_gso_max_segs
Only tcp_tso_segs() has to enforce the gso_max_segs limit.

This patch enables tail loss probe in cwnd reduction (CWR) state
to detect potential losses. Prior to this patch, since the sender
uses PRR to determine the cwnd in CWR state, the combination of
CWR+PRR plus tcp_tso_should_defer() could cause unnecessary stalls
upon losses: PRR makes cwnd so gentle that tcp_tso_should_defer()
defers sending wait for more ACKs. The ACKs may not come due to
packet losses.
Disallowing TLP when there is unused cwnd had the primary effect
of disallowing TLP when there is TSO deferral, Nagle deferral,
or we hit the rwin limit. Because basically every application
write() or incoming ACK will cause us to run tcp_write_xmit()
to see if we can send more, and then if we sent something we call
tcp_schedule_loss_probe() to see if we should schedule a TLP. At
that point, there are a few common reasons why some cwnd budget
could still be unused:
(a) rwin limit
(b) nagle check
(c) TSO deferral
(d) TSQ
For (d), after the next packet tx completion the TSQ mechanism
will allow us to send more packets, so we don't really need a
TLP (in practice it shouldn't matter whether we schedule one
or not). But for (a), (b), (c) the sender won't send any more
packets until it gets another ACK. But if the whole flight was
lost, or all the ACKs were lost, then we won't get any more ACKs,
and ideally we should schedule and send a TLP to get more feedback.
In particular for a long time we have wanted some kind of timer for
TSO deferral, and at least this would give us some kind of timer

Fix the TLP scheduling logic so that when scheduling a TLP probe, we
ensure that the estimated time at which an RTO would fire accounts for
the fact that ACKs indicating forward progress should push back RTO
times.
After the following fix:
df92c8394e ("tcp: fix xmit timer to only be reset if data ACKed/SACKed")
we had an unintentional behavior change in the following kind of
scenario: suppose the RTT variance has been very low recently. Then
suppose we send out a flight of N packets and our RTT is 100ms:
t=0: send a flight of N packets
t=100ms: receive an ACK for N-1 packets
The response before df92c8394e that was:
-> schedule a TLP for now + RTO_interval
The response after df92c8394e is:
-> schedule a TLP for t=0 + RTO_interval
Since RTO_interval = srtt + RTT_variance, this means that we have
scheduled a TLP timer at a point in the future that only accounts for
RTT_variance. If the RTT_variance term is small, this means that the
timer fires soon.
Before df92c8394e this would not happen, because in that code, when
we receive an ACK for a prefix of flight, we did:
1) Near the top of tcp_ack(), switch from TLP timer to RTO
at write_queue_head->paket_tx_time + RTO_interval:
if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_LOSS_PROBE)
tcp_rearm_rto(sk);
2) In tcp_clean_rtx_queue(), update the RTO to now + RTO_interval:
if (flag & FLAG_ACKED) {
tcp_rearm_rto(sk);
3) In tcp_ack() after tcp_fastretrans_alert() switch from RTO
to TLP at now + RTO_interval:
if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_RETRANS)
tcp_schedule_loss_probe(sk);
In df92c8394e we removed that 3-phase dance, and instead directly
set the TLP timer once: we set the TLP timer in cases like this to
write_queue_head->packet_tx_time + RTO_interval. So if the RTT
variance is small, then this means that this is setting the TLP timer
to fire quite soon. This means if the ACK for the tail of the flight
takes longer than an RTT to arrive (often due to delayed ACKs), then
the TLP timer fires too quickly.

I had many reports that TSQ logic breaks wifi aggregation.
Current logic is to allow up to 1 ms of bytes to be queued into qdisc
and drivers queues.
But Wifi aggregation needs a bigger budget to allow bigger rates to
be discovered by various TCP Congestion Controls algorithms.
This patch adds an extra socket field, allowing wifi drivers to select
another log scale to derive TCP Small Queue credit from current pacing
rate.
Initial value is 10, meaning that this patch does not change current
behavior.
We expect wifi drivers to set this field to smaller values (tests have
been done with values from 6 to 9)
They would have to use following template :
if (skb->sk && skb->sk->sk_pacing_shift != MY_PACING_SHIFT)
skb->sk->sk_pacing_shift = MY_PACING_SHIFT;

toward the forward ACK (i.e. highest sacked sequence)in a state

Precisely measuring reordering degree on packet distance has not much
benefit, as the degree constantly changes by factors like path, load,

Based on SNMP values provided by Roman, Yuchung made the observation
that some crashes in tcp_sacktag_walk() might be caused by MTU probing.
Looking at tcp_mtu_probe(), I found that when a new skb was placed
in front of the write queue, we were not updating tcp highest sack.
If one skb is freed because all its content was copied to the new skb
(for MTU probing), then tp->highest_sack could point to a now freed skb.
Bad things would then happen, including infinite loops.
This patch renames tcp_highest_sack_combine() and uses it
from tcp_mtu_probe() to fix the bug.
Note that I also removed one test against tp->sacked_out,
since we want to replace tp->highest_sack regardless of whatever
condition, since keeping a stale pointer to freed skb is a recipe
for disaster.

Current implementation calls tcp_rate_skb_sent() when tcp_transmit_skb()
is called when it clones skb only. Not calling tcp_rate_skb_sent() is OK
for all such code paths except from __tcp_retransmit_skb() which happens
when skb->data address is not aligned. This may rarely happen e.g. when
small amount of data is sent initially and the receiver partially acks
odd number of bytes for some reason, possibly malicious.

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

When retransmission on TSQ handler was introduced in the commit
f9616c35a0 ("tcp: implement TSQ for retransmits"), the retransmitted
skbs' timestamps were updated on the actual transmission. In the later
commit 385e20706f ("tcp: use tp->tcp_mstamp in output path"), it stops
being done so. In the commit, the comment says "We try to refresh
tp->tcp_mstamp only when necessary", and at present tcp_tsq_handler and
tcp_v4_mtu_reduced applies to this. About the latter, it's okay since
it's rare enough.
About the former, even though possible retransmissions on the tasklet
comes just after the destructor run in NET_RX softirq handling, the time
between them could be nonnegligibly large to the extent that
tcp_rack_advance or rto rearming be affected if other (remaining) RX,
BLOCK and (preceding) TASKLET sofirq handlings are unexpectedly heavy.
So in the same way as tcp_write_timer_handler does, doing tcp_mstamp_refresh
ensures the accuracy of algorithms relying on it.

We need a real-time notification for tcp retransmission
for monitoring.
Of course we could use ftrace to dynamically instrument this
kernel function too, however we can't retrieve the connection
information at the same time, for example perf-tools [1] reads
/proc/net/tcp for socket details, which is slow when we have
a lots of connections.
Therefore, this patch adds a tracepoint for __tcp_retransmit_skb()
and exposes src/dst IP addresses and ports of the connection.
This also makes it easier to integrate into perf.
Note, I expose both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses at the same time:
for a IPv4 socket, v4 mapped address is used as IPv6 addresses,
for a IPv6 socket, LOOPBACK4_IPV6 is already filled by kernel.
Also, add sk and skb pointers as they are useful for BPF.

Using a linear list to store all skbs in write queue has been okay
for quite a while : O(N) is not too bad when N < 500.
Things get messy when N is the order of 100,000 : Modern TCP stacks
want 10Gbit+ of throughput even with 200 ms RTT flows.
40 ns per cache line miss means a full scan can use 4 ms,
blowing away CPU caches.
SACK processing often can use various hints to avoid parsing
whole retransmit queue. But with high packet losses and/or high
reordering, hints no longer work.
Sender has to process thousands of unfriendly SACK, accumulating
a huge socket backlog, burning a cpu and massively dropping packets.
Using an rb-tree for retransmit queue has been avoided for years
because it added complexity and overhead, but now is the time
to be more resistant and say no to quadratic behavior.
1) RTX queue is no longer part of the write queue : already sent skbs
are stored in one rb-tree.
2) Since reaching the head of write queue no longer needs
sk->sk_send_head, we added an union of sk_send_head and tcp_rtx_queue

This patch adds a new queue (list) that tracks the sent but not yet
acked or SACKed skbs for a TCP connection. The list is chronologically
ordered by skb->skb_mstamp (the head is the oldest sent skb).
This list will be used to optimize TCP Rack recovery, which checks
an skb's timestamp to judge if it has been lost and needs to be
retransmitted. Since TCP write queue is ordered by sequence instead
of sent time, RACK has to scan over the write queue to catch all
eligible packets to detect lost retransmission, and iterates through
SACKed skbs repeatedly.
Special cares for rare events:
1. TCP repair fakes skb transmission so the send queue needs adjusted
2. SACK reneging would require re-inserting SACKed skbs into the
send queue. For now I believe it's not worth the complexity to
make RACK work perfectly on SACK reneging, so we do nothing here.
3. Fast Open: currently for non-TFO, send-queue correctly queues
the pure SYN packet. For TFO which queues a pure SYN and
then a data packet, send-queue only queues the data packet but
not the pure SYN due to the structure of TFO code. This is okay
because the SYN receiver would never respond with a SACK on a
missing SYN (i.e. SYN is never fast-retransmitted by SACK/RACK).
In order to not grow sk_buff, we use an union for the new list and
_skb_refdst/destructor fields. This is a bit complicated because
we need to make sure _skb_refdst and destructor are properly zeroed
before skb is cloned/copied at transmit, and before being freed.

Our recent change exposed a bug in TCP Fastopen Client that syzkaller
found right away [1]
When we prepare skb with SYN+DATA, we attempt to transmit it,
and we update socket state as if the transmit was a success.
In socket RTX queue we have two skbs, one with the SYN alone,
and a second one containing the DATA.
When (malicious) ACK comes in, we now complain that second one had no
skb_mstamp.
The proper fix is to make sure that if the transmit failed, we do not
pretend we sent the DATA skb, and make it our send_head.
When 3WHS completes, we can now send the DATA right away, without having
to wait for a timeout.

liujian reported a problem in TCP_USER_TIMEOUT processing with a patch
in tcp_probe_timer() :
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg454496.html
After investigations, the root cause of the problem is that we update
skb->skb_mstamp of skbs in write queue, even if the attempt to send a
clone or copy of it failed. One reason being a routing problem.
This patch prevents this, solving liujian issue.
It also removes a potential RTT miscalculation, since
__tcp_retransmit_skb() is not OR-ing TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->sacked with
TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS if a failure happens, but skb->skb_mstamp has
been changed.
A future ACK would then lead to a very small RTT sample and min_rtt
would then be lowered to this too small value.

In typical RPC (TCP_RR), when a TCP socket receives data, we now call

This touches enough cache lines to cause a slowdown.
so problem does not seem to be HP removal itself but the tcp_ack()
call. Therefore, it might be possible to remove HP after all, provided

Fix a TCP loss recovery performance bug raised recently on the netdev
list, in two threads:
(i) July 26, 2017: netdev thread "TCP fast retransmit issues"
(ii) July 26, 2017: netdev thread:
"[PATCH V2 net-next] TLP: Don't reschedule PTO when there's one
outstanding TLP retransmission"
The basic problem is that incoming TCP packets that did not indicate
forward progress could cause the xmit timer (TLP or RTO) to be rearmed
and pushed back in time. In certain corner cases this could result in
the following problems noted in these threads:
- Repeated ACKs coming in with bogus SACKs corrupted by middleboxes
could cause TCP to repeatedly schedule TLPs forever. We kept
sending TLPs after every ~200ms, which elicited bogus SACKs, which
caused more TLPs, ad infinitum; we never fired an RTO to fill in
the holes.
- Incoming data segments could, in some cases, cause us to reschedule
our RTO or TLP timer further out in time, for no good reason. This
could cause repeated inbound data to result in stalls in outbound
data, in the presence of packet loss.
This commit fixes these bugs by changing the TLP and RTO ACK
processing to:
(a) Only reschedule the xmit timer once per ACK.
(b) Only reschedule the xmit timer if tcp_clean_rtx_queue() deems the
ACK indicates sufficient forward progress (a packet was
cumulatively ACKed, or we got a SACK for a packet that was sent
before the most recent retransmit of the write queue head).
This brings us back into closer compliance with the RFCs, since, as
the comment for tcp_rearm_rto() notes, we should only restart the RTO
timer after forward progress on the connection. Previously we were
restarting the xmit timer even in these cases where there was no
forward progress.
As a side benefit, this commit simplifies and speeds up the TCP timer
arming logic. We had been calling inet_csk_reset_xmit_timer() three
times on normal ACKs that cumulatively acknowledged some data:
1) Once near the top of tcp_ack() to switch from TLP timer to RTO:
if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_LOSS_PROBE)
tcp_rearm_rto(sk);
2) Once in tcp_clean_rtx_queue(), to update the RTO:
if (flag & FLAG_ACKED) {
tcp_rearm_rto(sk);
3) Once in tcp_ack() after tcp_fastretrans_alert() to switch from RTO
to TLP:
if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_RETRANS)
tcp_schedule_loss_probe(sk);
This commit, by only rescheduling the xmit timer once per ACK,
simplifies the code and reduces CPU overhead.
This commit was tested in an A/B test with Google web server
traffic. SNMP stats and request latency metrics were within noise
levels, substantiating that for normal web traffic patterns this is a
rare issue. This commit was also tested with packetdrill tests to
verify that it fixes the timer behavior in the corner cases discussed
in the netdev threads mentioned above.
This patch is a bug fix patch intended to be queued for -stable
relases.

Have tcp_schedule_loss_probe() base the TLP scheduling decision based
on when the RTO *should* fire. This is to enable the upcoming xmit
timer fix in this series, where tcp_schedule_loss_probe() cannot
assume that the last timer installed was an RTO timer (because we are
no longer doing the "rearm RTO, rearm RTO, rearm TLP" dance on every
ACK). So tcp_schedule_loss_probe() must independently figure out when
an RTO would want to fire.
In the new TLP implementation following in this series, we cannot
assume that icsk_timeout was set based on an RTO; after processing a
cumulative ACK the icsk_timeout we see can be from a previous TLP or
RTO. So we need to independently recalculate the RTO time (instead of
reading it out of icsk_timeout). Removing this dependency on the
nature of icsk_timeout makes things a little easier to reason about
anyway.
Note that the old and new code should be equivalent, since they are
both saying: "if the RTO is in the future, but at an earlier time than
the normal TLP time, then set the TLP timer to fire when the RTO would
have fired".
