From: Ilpo Järvinen Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2007 03:39:31 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [TCP]: non-FACK SACK follows conservative SACK loss recovery X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=85cc391c0e4584db594bfc4005c63c07c76c5077;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git [TCP]: non-FACK SACK follows conservative SACK loss recovery Many assumptions that are true when no reordering or other strange events happen are not a part of the RFC3517. FACK implementation is based on such assumptions. Previously (before the rewrite) the non-FACK SACK was basically doing fast rexmit and then it times out all skbs when first cumulative ACK arrives, which cannot really be called SACK based recovery :-). RFC3517 SACK disables these things: - Per SKB timeouts & head timeout entry to recovery - Marking at least one skb while in recovery (RFC3517 does this only for the fast retransmission but not for the other skbs when cumulative ACKs arrive in the recovery) - Sacktag's loss detection flavors B and C (see comment before tcp_sacktag_write_queue) This does not implement the "last resort" rule 3 of NextSeg, which allows retransmissions also when not enough SACK blocks have yet arrived above a segment for IsLost to return true [RFC3517]. The implementation differs from RFC3517 in these points: - Rate-halving is used instead of FlightSize / 2 - Instead of using dupACKs to trigger the recovery, the number of SACK blocks is used as FACK does with SACK blocks+holes (which provides more accurate number). It seems that the difference can affect negatively only if the receiver does not generate SACK blocks at all even though it claimed to be SACK-capable. - Dupthresh is not a constant one. Dynamical adjustments include both holes and sacked segments (equal to what FACK has) due to complexity involved in determining the number sacked blocks between highest_sack and the reordered segment. Thus it's will be an over-estimate. Implementation note: tcp_clean_rtx_queue doesn't need a lost_cnt tweak because head skb at that point cannot be SACKED_ACKED (nor would such situation last for long enough to cause problems).
