  • 756ee1729   tcp: replace cnt & rtt with struct in pkts_acked() ... Browse Code »

    Replace 2 arguments (cnt and rtt) in the congestion control modules'
    pkts_acked() function with a struct. This will allow adding more
    information without having to modify existing congestion control
    modules (tcp_nv in particular needs bytes in flight when packet
    was sent).

    As proposed by Neal Cardwell in his comments to the tcp_nv patch.

  • 071d5080e   tcp: add tcp_in_slow_start helper ... Browse Code »

    Add a helper to test the slow start condition in various congestion
    control modules and other places. This is to prepare a slight improvement
    in policy as to exactly when to slow start.

    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.
