From: Yuchung Cheng Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2015 04:57:47 +0000 (-0700) Subject: tcp: use RACK to detect losses X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4f41b1c58a32537542f14c1150099131613a5e8a;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git tcp: use RACK to detect losses This patch implements the second half of RACK that uses the the most recent transmit time among all delivered packets to detect losses. tcp_rack_mark_lost() is called upon receiving a dubious ACK. It then checks if an not-yet-sacked packet was sent at least "reo_wnd" prior to the sent time of the most recently delivered. If so the packet is deemed lost. The "reo_wnd" reordering window starts with 1msec for fast loss detection and changes to min-RTT/4 when reordering is observed. We found 1msec accommodates well on tiny degree of reordering (<3 pkts) on faster links. We use min-RTT instead of SRTT because reordering is more of a path property but SRTT can be inflated by self-inflicated congestion. The factor of 4 is borrowed from the delayed early retransmit and seems to work reasonably well. Since RACK is still experimental, it is now used as a supplemental loss detection on top of existing algorithms. It is only effective after the fast recovery starts or after the timeout occurs. The fast recovery is still triggered by FACK and/or dupack threshold instead of RACK. We introduce a new sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_recovery for future experiments of loss recoveries. For now RACK can be disabled by setting it to 0. Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
