tcp: add accessors to read/set tp->snd_cwnd

2022-04-06T19:05:41Z

We had various bugs over the years with code breaking the assumption that tp->snd_cwnd is greater than zero. Lately, syzbot reported the WARN_ON_ONCE(!tp->prior_cwnd) added in commit 8b8a321ff72c ("tcp: fix zero cwnd in tcp_cwnd_reduction") can trigger, and without a repro we would have to spend considerable time finding the bug. Instead of complaining too late, we want to catch where and when tp->snd_cwnd is set to an illegal value.

tcp: make undo_cwnd mandatory for congestion modules

2016-11-21T18:20:17Z

The undo_cwnd fallback in the stack doubles cwnd based on ssthresh, which un-does reno halving behaviour. It seems more appropriate to let congctl algorithms pair .ssthresh and .undo_cwnd properly. Add a 'tcp_reno_undo_cwnd' function and wire it up for all congestion algorithms that used to rely on the fallback.

tcp: do not slow start when cwnd equals ssthresh

2015-07-09T21:22:52Z

In the original design slow start is only used to raise cwnd when cwnd is stricly below ssthresh. It makes little sense to slow start when cwnd == ssthresh: especially when hystart has set ssthresh in the initial ramp, or after recovery when cwnd resets to ssthresh. Not doing so will also help reduce the buffer bloat slightly.

tcp: remove in_flight parameter from cong_avoid() methods

Commit e114a710aa505 ("tcp: fix cwnd limited checking to improve congestion control") obsoleted in_flight parameter from tcp_is_cwnd_limited() and its callers. This patch does the removal as promised. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolution

2014-02-26T22:08:40Z

Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT estimations. Millisecond resolution is simply not enough these days. FQ/pacing in DC environments also require this change for finer control and removal of bimodal behavior due to the current hack in tcp_update_pacing_rate() for 'small rtt' TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP is no longer needed. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, we need to keep user compatibility : tcp_metrics used to export RTT and RTTVAR in msec resolution, so we added RTT_US and RTTVAR_US. An iproute2 patch is needed to use the new attributes if provided by the kernel. In this example ss command displays a srtt of 32 usecs (10Gbit link) lpk51:~# ./ss -i dst lpk52 Netid State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port tcp ESTAB 0 1 10.246.11.51:42959 10.246.11.52:64614 cubic wscale:6,6 rto:201 rtt:0.032/0.001 ato:40 mss:1448 cwnd:10 send 3620.0Mbps pacing_rate 7240.0Mbps unacked:1 rcv_rtt:993 rcv_space:29559 Updated iproute2 ip command displays : lpk51:~# ./ip tcp_metrics | grep 10.246.11.52 10.246.11.52 age 561.914sec cwnd 10 rtt 274us rttvar 213us source 10.246.11.51 Old binary displays : lpk51:~# ip tcp_metrics | grep 10.246.11.52 10.246.11.52 age 561.914sec cwnd 10 rtt 250us rttvar 125us source 10.246.11.51 With help from Julian Anastasov, Stephen Hemminger and Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Cc: Stephen Hemminger Cc: Yuchung Cheng Cc: Larry Brakmo Cc: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: remove unused min_cwnd member of tcp_congestion_ops

2014-02-13T23:22:34Z

Commit 684bad110757 "tcp: use PRR to reduce cwin in CWR state" removed all calls to min_cwnd, so we can safely remove it. Also, remove tcp_reno_min_cwnd because it was only used for min_cwnd. Signed-off-by: Stanislav Fomichev Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: properly handle stretch acks in slow start

2013-11-05T00:57:59Z

Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets, regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK, GRO, etc). But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1) to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase. In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start (LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow start (hystart) enabled by default.
