    tcp: usec resolution SYN/ACK RTT · 0f1c28ae

    Currently SYN/ACK RTT is measured in jiffies. For LAN the SYN/ACK
    RTT is often measured as 0ms or sometimes 1ms, which would affect
    RTT estimation and min RTT samping used by some congestion control.
    
    This patch improves SYN/ACK RTT to be usec resolution if platform
    supports it. While the timestamping of SYN/ACK is done in request
    sock, the RTT measurement is carefully arranged to avoid storing
    another u64 timestamp in tcp_sock.
    
    For regular handshake w/o SYNACK retransmission, the RTT is sampled
    right after the child socket is created and right before the request
    sock is released (tcp_check_req() in tcp_minisocks.c)
    
    For Fast Open the child socket is already created when SYN/ACK was
    sent, the RTT is sampled in tcp_rcv_state_process() after processing
    the final ACK an right before the request socket is released.
    
    If the SYN/ACK was retransmistted or SYN-cookie was used, we rely
    on TCP timestamps to measure the RTT. The sample is taken at the
    same place in tcp_rcv_state_process() after the timestamp values
    are validated in tcp_validate_incoming(). Note that we do not store
    TS echo value in request_sock for SYN-cookies, because the value
    is already stored in tp->rx_opt used by tcp_ack_update_rtt().
    
    One side benefit is that the RTT measurement now happens before
    initializing congestion control (of the passive side). Therefore
    the congestion control can use the SYN/ACK RTT.
