From: Neal Cardwell Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2015 21:17:03 +0000 (-0400) Subject: tcp: fix tcp_cong_avoid_ai() credit accumulation bug with decreases in w X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9949afa42be0b76f5832db112ce51bb6b35b2abb;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git tcp: fix tcp_cong_avoid_ai() credit accumulation bug with decreases in w The recent change to tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to handle stretch ACKs introduced a bug where snd_cwnd_cnt could accumulate a very large value while w was large, and then if w was reduced snd_cwnd could be incremented by a large delta, leading to a large burst and high packet loss. This was tickled when CUBIC's bictcp_update() sets "ca->cnt = 100 * cwnd". This bug crept in while preparing the upstream version of 814d488c6126. Testing: This patch has been tested in datacenter netperf transfers and live youtube.com and google.com servers.
