2017-08-06tcp: consolidate congestion control undo functionsYuchung Cheng1-10/+1
Most TCP congestion controls are using identical logic to undo cwnd except BBR. This patch consolidates these similar functions to the one used currently by Reno and others.

2016-11-21tcp: add cwnd_undo functions to various tcp cc algorithmsFlorian Westphal1-0/+10
congestion control algorithms that do not halve cwnd in their .ssthresh should provide a .cwnd_undo rather than rely on current fallback which assumes reno halving (and thus doubles the cwnd). All of these do 'something else' in their .ssthresh implementation, thus store the cwnd on loss and provide .undo_cwnd to restore it again. A followup patch will remove the fallback and all algorithms will need to provide a .cwnd_undo function. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-09-08tcp: cwnd does not increase in TCP YeAHArtem Germanov1-1/+1
Commit 76174004a0f19785a328f40388e87e982bbf69b9 (tcp: do not slow start when cwnd equals ssthresh ) introduced regression in TCP YeAH. Using 100ms delay 1% loss virtual ethernet link kernel 4.2 shows bandwidth ~500KB/s for single TCP connection and kernel 4.3 and above (including 4.8-rc4) shows bandwidth ~100KB/s. That is caused by stalled cwnd when cwnd equals ssthresh. This patch fixes it by proper increasing cwnd in this case.

2016-05-11tcp: replace cnt & rtt with struct in pkts_acked()Lawrence Brakmo1-3/+4
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. Signed-off-by: Lawrence Brakmo <brakmo@fb.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-01-11tcp_yeah: don't set ssthresh below 2Neal Cardwell1-1/+1
For tcp_yeah, use an ssthresh floor of 2, the same floor used by Reno and CUBIC, per RFC 5681 (equation 4). tcp_yeah_ssthresh() was sometimes returning a 0 or negative ssthresh value if the intended reduction is as big or bigger than the current cwnd. Congestion control modules should never return a zero or negative ssthresh. A zero ssthresh generally results in a zero cwnd, causing the connection to stall. A negative ssthresh value will be interpreted as a u32 and will set a target cwnd for PRR near 4 billion. Oleksandr Natalenko reported that a system using tcp_yeah with ECN could see a warning about a prior_cwnd of 0 in tcp_cwnd_reduction(). Testing verified that this was due to tcp_yeah_ssthresh() misbehaving in this way.

2015-01-28tcp: stretch ACK fixes prepNeal Cardwell1-1/+1
LRO, GRO, delayed ACKs, and middleboxes can cause "stretch ACKs" that cover more than the RFC-specified maximum of 2 packets. These stretch ACKs can cause serious performance shortfalls in common congestion control algorithms that were designed and tuned years ago with receiver hosts that were not using LRO or GRO, and were instead politely ACKing every other packet. This patch series fixes Reno and CUBIC to handle stretch ACKs. This patch prepares for the upcoming stretch ACK bug fix patches. It adds an "acked" parameter to tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to allow for future fixes to tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to correctly handle stretch ACKs, and changes all congestion control algorithms to pass in 1 for the ACKed count. It also changes tcp_slow_start() to return the number of packet ACK "credits" that were not processed in slow start mode, and can be processed by the congestion control module in additive increase mode. In future patches we will fix tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to handle stretch ACKs, and fix Reno and CUBIC handling of stretch ACKs in slow start and additive increase mode.

2014-02-26tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolutionEric Dumazet1-1/+0
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 <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Larry Brakmo <brakmo@google.com> Cc: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-11-04tcp: properly handle stretch acks in slow startYuchung Cheng1-2/+3
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.

2007-07-31[TCP]: congestion control API pass RTT in microsecondsStephen Hemminger1-2/+2
This patch changes the API for the callback that is done after an ACK is received. It solves a couple of issues: * Some congestion controls want higher resolution value of RTT (controlled by TCP_CONG_RTT_SAMPLE flag). These don't really want a ktime, but all compute a RTT in microseconds. * Other congestion control could use RTT at jiffies resolution. To keep API consistent the units should be the same for both cases, just the resolution should change. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
