      [TCP]: use non-delayed ACK for congestion control RTT · 2072c228
      Gavin McCullagh 提交于
      When a delayed ACK representing two packets arrives, there are two RTT
      samples available, one for each packet.  The first (in order of seq
      number) will be artificially long due to the delay waiting for the
      second packet, the second will trigger the ACK and so will not itself
      be delayed.
      
      According to rfc1323, the SRTT used for RTO calculation should use the
      first rtt, so receivers echo the timestamp from the first packet in
      the delayed ack.  For congestion control however, it seems measuring
      delayed ack delay is not desirable as it varies independently of
      congestion.
      
      The patch below causes seq_rtt and last_ackt to be updated with any
      available later packet rtts which should have less (and hopefully
      zero) delack delay.  The rtt value then gets passed to
      ca_ops->pkts_acked().
      
      Where TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP was set, effort was made to supress RTTs from
      within a TSO chunk (!fully_acked), using only the final ACK (which
      includes any TSO delay) to generate RTTs.  This patch removes these
      checks so RTTs are passed for each ACK to ca_ops->pkts_acked().
      
      For non-delay based congestion control (cubic, h-tcp), rtt is
      sometimes used for rtt-scaling.  In shortening the RTT, this may make
      them a little less aggressive.  Delay-based schemes (eg vegas, veno,
      illinois) should get a cleaner, more accurate congestion signal,
      particularly for small cwnds.  The congestion control module can
      potentially also filter out bad RTTs due to the delayed ack alarm by
      looking at the associated cnt which (where delayed acking is in use)
      should probably be 1 if the alarm went off or greater if the ACK was
      triggered by a packet.

      [TCP]: Another TAGBITS -> SACKED_ACKED|LOST conversion · 261ab365

      Similar to commit 3eec0047, point of this is to avoid
      skipping R-bit skbs.

      [TCP]: Process DSACKs that reside within a SACK block · e56d6cd6
      Ilpo Jrvinen 提交于
      DSACK inside another SACK block were missed if start_seq of DSACK
      was larger than SACK block's because sorting prioritizes full
      processing of the SACK block before DSACK. After SACK block
      sorting situation is like this:
      
                   SSSSSSSSS
                        D
                              SSSSSS
                                     SSSSSSS
      
      Because write_queue is walked in-order, when the first SACK block
      has been processed, TCP is already past the skb for which the
      DSACK arrived and we haven't taught it to backtrack (nor should
      we), so TCP just continues processing by going to the next SACK
      block after the DSACK (if any).
      
      Whenever such DSACK is present, do an embedded checking during
      the previous SACK block.
      
      If the DSACK is below snd_una, there won't be overlapping SACK
      block, and thus no problem in that case. Also if start_seq of
      the DSACK is equal to the actual block, it will be processed
      first.
      
      Tested this by using netem to duplicate 15% of packets, and
      by printing SACK block when found_dup_sack is true and the 
      selected skb in the dup_sack = 1 branch (if taken):
      
        SACK block 0: 4344-5792 (relative to snd_una 2019137317)
        SACK block 1: 4344-5792 (relative to snd_una 2019137317) 
      
      equal start seqnos => next_dup = 0, dup_sack = 1 won't occur...
      
        SACK block 0: 5792-7240 (relative to snd_una 2019214061)
        SACK block 1: 2896-7240 (relative to snd_una 2019214061)
        DSACK skb match 5792-7240 (relative to snd_una)
      
      ...and next_dup = 1 case (after the not shown start_seq sort),
      went to dup_sack = 1 branch.
