Subject: tcp: fix cwnd undo in Reno and HTCP congestion controls
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4faf783998b8cb88294e9df89032f473f8771b78;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

tcp: fix cwnd undo in Reno and HTCP congestion controls

Using ssthresh to revert cwnd is less reliable when ssthresh is
bounded to 2 packets. This patch uses an existing variable in TCP
"prior_cwnd" that snapshots the cwnd right before entering fast
recovery and RTO recovery in Reno.  This fixes the issue discussed
in netdev thread: "A buggy behavior for Linux TCP Reno and HTCP"
