2017-01-13tcp: remove forward retransmit featureYuchung Cheng1-1/+0
Forward retransmit is an esoteric feature in RFC3517 (condition(3) in the NextSeg()). Basically if a packet is not considered lost by the current criteria (# of dupacks etc), but the congestion window has room for more packets, then retransmit this packet. However it actually conflicts with the rest of recovery design. For example, when reordering is detected we want to be conservative in retransmitting packets but forward-retransmit feature would break that to force more retransmission. Also the implementation is fairly complicated inside the retransmission logic inducing extra iterations in the write queue. With RACK losses are being detected timely and this heuristic is no longer necessary. There this patch removes the feature.

2017-01-13tcp: use sequence to break TS ties for RACK loss detectionYuchung Cheng1-0/+1
The packets inside a jumbo skb (e.g., TSO) share the same skb timestamp, even though they are sent sequentially on the wire. Since RACK is based on time, it can not detect some packets inside the same skb are lost. However, we can leverage the packet sequence numbers as extended timestamps to detect losses. Therefore, when RACK timestamp is identical to skb's timestamp (i.e., one of the packets of the skb is acked or sacked), we use the sequence numbers of the acked and unacked packets to break ties. We can use the same sequence logic to advance RACK xmit time as well to detect more losses and avoid timeout.

2017-01-13tcp: record most recent RTT in RACK loss detectionYuchung Cheng1-0/+1
Record the most recent RTT in RACK. It is often identical to the "ca_rtt_us" values in tcp_clean_rtx_queue. But when the packet has been retransmitted, RACK choses to believe the ACK is for the (latest) retransmitted packet if the RTT is over minimum RTT. This requires passing the arrival time of the most recent ACK to RACK routines. The timestamp is now recorded in the "ack_time" in tcp_sacktag_state during the ACK processing. This patch does not change the RACK algorithm itself. It only adds the RTT variable to prepare the next main patch.

2016-12-02tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets for each connectionFlorian Westphal1-0/+1
jiffies based timestamps allow for easy inference of number of devices behind NAT translators and also makes tracking of hosts simpler. commit ceaa1fef65a7c2e ("tcp: adding a per-socket timestamp offset") added the main infrastructure that is needed for per-connection ts randomization, in particular writing/reading the on-wire tcp header format takes the offset into account so rest of stack can use normal tcp_time_stamp (jiffies). So only two items are left: - add a tsoffset for request sockets - extend the tcp isn generator to also return another 32bit number in addition to the ISN. Re-use of ISN generator also means timestamps are still monotonically increasing for same connection quadruple, i.e. PAWS will still work. Includes fixes from Eric Dumazet.

2016-11-30tcp: SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS option for SO_TIMESTAMPINGFrancis Yan1-0/+2
This patch exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently we can instrument how long a particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender limitation. For example, a video server can tell if a particular chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because TCP was experiencing small receive window. It is not possible to tell before this patch without packet traces. To prepare these stats, the user needs to set SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY flags while requesting other SOF_TIMESTAMPING TX timestamps. When the timestamps are available in the error queue, the stats are returned in a separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS, in a list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types: TCP_NLA_BUSY_TIME, TCP_NLA_RWND_LIMITED, TCP_NLA_SNDBUF_LIMITED.

2016-11-30tcp: instrument tcp sender limits chronographsFrancis Yan1-2/+5
This patch implements the skeleton of the TCP chronograph instrumentation on sender side limits: 1) idle (unspec) 2) busy sending data other than 3-4 below 3) rwnd-limited 4) sndbuf-limited The limits are enumerated 'tcp_chrono'. Since a connection in theory can idle forever, we do not track the actual length of this uninteresting idle period. For the rest we track how long the sender spends in each limit. At any point during the life time of a connection, the sender must be in one of the four states. If there are multiple conditions worthy of tracking in a chronograph then the highest priority enum takes precedence over the other conditions. So that if something "more interesting" starts happening, stop the previous chrono and start a new one. The time unit is jiffy(u32) in order to save space in tcp_sock. This implies application must sample the stats no longer than every 49 days of 1ms jiffy.

2016-11-09tcp: no longer hold ehash lock while calling tcp_get_info()Eric Dumazet1-2/+0
We had various problems in the past in tcp_get_info() and used specific synchronization to avoid deadlocks. We would like to add more instrumentation points for TCP, and avoiding grabing socket lock in tcp_getinfo() was too costly. Being able to lock the socket allows to provide consistent set of fields. inet_diag_dump_icsk() can make sure ehash locks are not held any more when tcp_get_info() is called. We can remove syncp added in commit d654976cbf85 ("tcp: fix a potential deadlock in tcp_get_info()"), but we need to use lock_sock_fast() instead of spin_lock_bh() since TCP input path can now be run from process context.

This commit export two new fields in struct tcp_info: tcpi_delivery_rate: The most recent goodput, as measured by tcp_rate_gen(). If the socket is limited by the sending application (e.g., no data to send), it reports the highest measurement instead of the most recent. The unit is bytes per second (like other rate fields in tcp_info). tcpi_delivery_rate_app_limited: A boolean indicating if the goodput was measured when the socket's throughput was limited by the sending application. This delivery rate information can be useful for applications that want to know the current throughput the TCP connection is seeing, e.g. adaptive bitrate video streaming. It can also be very useful for debugging or troubleshooting.

2016-09-21tcp: track application-limited rate samplesSoheil Hassas Yeganeh1-0/+1
This commit adds code to track whether the delivery rate represented by each rate_sample was limited by the application. Upon each transmit, we store in the is_app_limited field in the skb a boolean bit indicating whether there is a known "bubble in the pipe": a point in the rate sample interval where the sender was application-limited, and did not transmit even though the cwnd and pacing rate allowed it. This logic marks the flow app-limited on a write if *all* of the following are true: 1) There is less than 1 MSS of unsent data in the write queue available to transmit. 2) There is no packet in the sender's queues (e.g. in fq or the NIC tx queue). 3) The connection is not limited by cwnd. 4) There are no lost packets to retransmit. The tcp_rate_check_app_limited() code in tcp_rate.c determines whether the connection is application-limited at the moment. If the flow is application-limited, it sets the tp->app_limited field. If the flow is application-limited then that means there is effectively a "bubble" of silence in the pipe now, and this silence will be reflected in a lower bandwidth sample for any rate samples from now until we get an ACK indicating this bubble has exited the pipe: specifically, until we get an ACK for the next packet we transmit. When we send every skb we record in scb->tx.is_app_limited whether the resulting rate sample will be application-limited. The code in tcp_rate_gen() checks to see when it is safe to mark all known application-limited bubbles of silence as having exited the pipe. It does this by checking to see when the delivered count moves past the tp->app_limited marker. At this point it zeroes the tp->app_limited marker, as all known bubbles are out of the pipe. We make room for the tx.is_app_limited bit in the skb by borrowing a bit from the in_flight field used by NV to record the number of bytes in flight. The receive window in the TCP header is 16 bits, and the max receive window scaling shift factor is 14 (RFC 1323). So the max receive window offered by the TCP protocol is 2^(16+14) = 2^30. So we only need 30 bits for the tx.in_flight used by NV.

2016-09-21tcp: track data delivery rate for a TCP connectionYuchung Cheng1-0/+2
This patch generates data delivery rate (throughput) samples on a per-ACK basis. These rate samples can be used by congestion control modules, and specifically will be used by TCP BBR in later patches in this series. Key state: tp->delivered: Tracks the total number of data packets (original or not) delivered so far. This is an already-existing field. tp->delivered_mstamp: the last time tp->delivered was updated. Algorithm: A rate sample is calculated as (d1 - d0)/(t1 - t0) on a per-ACK basis: d1: the current tp->delivered after processing the ACK t1: the current time after processing the ACK d0: the prior tp->delivered when the acked skb was transmitted t0: the prior tp->delivered_mstamp when the acked skb was transmitted When an skb is transmitted, we snapshot d0 and t0 in its control block in tcp_rate_skb_sent(). When an ACK arrives, it may SACK and ACK some skbs. For each SACKed or ACKed skb, tcp_rate_skb_delivered() updates the rate_sample struct to reflect the latest (d0, t0). Finally, tcp_rate_gen() generates a rate sample by storing (d1 - d0) in rs->delivered and (t1 - t0) in rs->interval_us. One caveat: if an skb was sent with no packets in flight, then tp->delivered_mstamp may be either invalid (if the connection is starting) or outdated (if the connection was idle). In that case, we'll re-stamp tp->delivered_mstamp. At first glance it seems t0 should always be the time when an skb was transmitted, but actually this could over-estimate the rate due to phase mismatch between transmit and ACK events. To track the delivery rate, we ensure that if packets are in flight then t0 and and t1 are times at which packets were marked delivered. If the initial and final RTTs are different then one may be corrupted by some sort of noise. The noise we see most often is sending gaps caused by delayed, compressed, or stretched acks. This either affects both RTTs equally or artificially reduces the final RTT. We approach this by recording the info we need to compute the initial RTT (duration of the "send phase" of the window) when we recorded the associated inflight. Then, for a filter to avoid bandwidth overestimates, we generalize the per-sample bandwidth computation from: bw = delivered / ack_phase_rtt to the following: bw = delivered / max(send_phase_rtt, ack_phase_rtt) In large-scale experiments, this filtering approach incorporating send_phase_rtt is effective at avoiding bandwidth overestimates due to ACK compression or stretched ACKs.

2016-09-21tcp: count packets marked lost for a TCP connectionNeal Cardwell1-0/+1
Count the number of packets that a TCP connection marks lost. Congestion control modules can use this loss rate information for more intelligent decisions about how fast to send. Specifically, this is used in TCP BBR policer detection. BBR uses a high packet loss rate as one signal in its policer detection and policer bandwidth estimation algorithm. The BBR policer detection algorithm cannot simply track retransmits, because a retransmit can be (and often is) an indicator of packets lost long, long ago. This is particularly true in a long CA_Loss period that repairs the initial massive losses when a policer kicks in.

2016-09-08tcp: use an RB tree for ooo receive queueYaogong Wang1-4/+3
Over the years, TCP BDP has increased by several orders of magnitude, and some people are considering to reach the 2 Gbytes limit. Even with current window scale limit of 14, ~1 Gbytes maps to ~740,000 MSS. In presence of packet losses (or reorders), TCP stores incoming packets into an out of order queue, and number of skbs sitting there waiting for the missing packets to be received can be in the 10^5 range. Most packets are appended to the tail of this queue, and when packets can finally be transferred to receive queue, we scan the queue from its head. However, in presence of heavy losses, we might have to find an arbitrary point in this queue, involving a linear scan for every incoming packet, throwing away cpu caches. This patch converts it to a RB tree, to get bounded latencies. Yaogong wrote a preliminary patch about 2 years ago. Eric did the rebase, added ofo_last_skb cache, polishing and tests. Tested with network dropping between 1 and 10 % packets, with good success (about 30 % increase of throughput in stress tests) Next step would be to also use an RB tree for the write queue at sender side ;) Signed-off-by: Yaogong Wang <wygivan@google.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Acked-By: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-02-07tcp: new delivery accountingYuchung Cheng1-0/+1
This patch changes the accounting of how many packets are newly acked or sacked when the sender receives an ACK. The current approach basically computes newly_acked_sacked = (prior_packets - prior_sacked) - (tp->packets_out - tp->sacked_out) where prior_packets and prior_sacked out are snapshot at the beginning of the ACK processing. The new approach tracks the delivery information via a new TCP state variable "delivered" which monotically increases as new packets are delivered in order or out-of-order. The reason for this change is that the current approach is brittle that produces negative or inaccurate estimate. 1) For non-SACK connections, an ACK that advances the SND.UNA could reset the DUPACK counters (tp->sacked_out) in tcp_process_loss() or tcp_fastretrans_alert(). This inflates the inflight suddenly and causes under-estimate or even negative estimate. Here is a real example: before after (processing ACK) packets_out 75 73 sacked_out 23 0 ca state Loss Open The old approach computes (75-23) - (73 - 0) = -21 delivered while the new approach computes 1 delivered since it considers the 2nd-24th packets are delivered OOO. 2) MSS change would re-count packets_out and sacked_out so the estimate is in-accurate and can even become negative. E.g., the inflight is doubled when MSS is halved. 3) Spurious retransmission signaled by DSACK is not accounted The new approach is simpler and more robust. For SACK connections, tp->delivered increments as packets are being acked or sacked in SACK and ACK processing. For non-sack connections, it's done in tcp_remove_reno_sacks() and tcp_add_reno_sack(). When an ACK advances the SND.UNA, tp->delivered is incremented by the number of packets ACKed (less the current number of DUPACKs received plus one packet hole). Upon receiving a DUPACK, tp->delivered is incremented assuming one out-of-order packet is delivered. Upon receiving a DSACK, tp->delivered is incremtened assuming one retransmission is delivered in tcp_sacktag_write_queue().

2015-10-21tcp: track the packet timings in RACKYuchung Cheng1-0/+6
This patch is the first half of the RACK loss recovery. RACK loss recovery uses the notion of time instead of packet sequence (FACK) or counts (dupthresh). It's inspired by the previous FACK heuristic in tcp_mark_lost_retrans(): when a limited transmit (new data packet) is sacked, then current retransmitted sequence below the newly sacked sequence must been lost, since at least one round trip time has elapsed. But it has several limitations: 1) can't detect tail drops since it depends on limited transmit 2) is disabled upon reordering (assumes no reordering) 3) only enabled in fast recovery ut not timeout recovery RACK (Recently ACK) addresses these limitations with the notion of time instead: a packet P1 is lost if a later packet P2 is s/acked, as at least one round trip has passed. Since RACK cares about the time sequence instead of the data sequence of packets, it can detect tail drops when later retransmission is s/acked while FACK or dupthresh can't. For reordering RACK uses a dynamically adjusted reordering window ("reo_wnd") to reduce false positives on ever (small) degree of reordering. This patch implements tcp_advanced_rack() which tracks the most recent transmission time among the packets that have been delivered (ACKed or SACKed) in tp->rack.mstamp. This timestamp is the key to determine which packet has been lost. Consider an example that the sender sends six packets: T1: P1 (lost) T2: P2 T3: P3 T4: P4 T100: sack of P2. rack.mstamp = T2 T101: retransmit P1 T102: sack of P2,P3,P4. rack.mstamp = T4 T205: ACK of P4 since the hole is repaired. rack.mstamp = T101 We need to be careful about spurious retransmission because it may falsely advance tp->rack.mstamp by an RTT or an RTO, causing RACK to falsely mark all packets lost, just like a spurious timeout. We identify spurious retransmission by the ACK's TS echo value. If TS option is not applicable but the retransmission is acknowledged less than min-RTT ago, it is likely to be spurious. We refrain from using the transmission time of these spurious retransmissions. The second half is implemented in the next patch that marks packet lost using RACK timestamp.

2015-10-21tcp: track min RTT using windowed min-filterYuchung Cheng1-0/+3
Kathleen Nichols' algorithm for tracking the minimum RTT of a data stream over some measurement window. It uses constant space and constant time per update. Yet it almost always delivers the same minimum as an implementation that has to keep all the data in the window. The measurement window is tunable via sysctl.net.ipv4.tcp_min_rtt_wlen with a default value of 5 minutes. The algorithm keeps track of the best, 2nd best & 3rd best min values, maintaining an invariant that the measurement time of the n'th best >= n-1'th best. It also makes sure that the three values are widely separated in the time window since that bounds the worse case error when that data is monotonically increasing over the window. Upon getting a new min, we can forget everything earlier because it has no value - the new min is less than everything else in the window by definition and it's the most recent. So we restart fresh on every new min and overwrites the 2nd & 3rd choices. The same property holds for the 2nd & 3rd best. Therefore we have to maintain two invariants to maximize the information in the samples, one on values (1st.v <= 2nd.v <= 3rd.v) and the other on times (now-win <=1st.t <= 2nd.t <= 3rd.t <= now). These invariants determine the structure of the code The RTT input to the windowed filter is the minimum RTT measured from ACK or SACK, or as the last resort from TCP timestamps. The accessor tcp_min_rtt() returns the minimum RTT seen in the window. ~0U indicates it is not available. The minimum is 1usec even if the true RTT is below that.

While auditing TCP stack for upcoming 'lockless' listener changes, I found I had to change fastopen_init_queue() to properly init the object before publishing it. Otherwise an other cpu could try to lock the spinlock before it gets properly initialized. Instead of adding appropriate barriers, just remove dynamic memory allocations : - Structure is 28 bytes on 64bit arches. Using additional 8 bytes for holding a pointer seems overkill. - Two listeners can share same cache line and performance would suffer. If we really want to save few bytes, we would instead dynamically allocate whole struct request_sock_queue in the future. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-09-21tcp: usec resolution SYN/ACK RTTYuchung Cheng1-1/+1
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.

2015-09-17tcp: provide skb->hash to synack packetsEric Dumazet1-0/+1
In commit b73c3d0e4f0e ("net: Save TX flow hash in sock and set in skbuf on xmit"), Tom provided a l4 hash to most outgoing TCP packets. We'd like to provide one as well for SYNACK packets, so that all packets of a given flow share same txhash, to later enable bonding driver to also use skb->hash to perform slave selection. Note that a SYNACK retransmit shuffles the tx hash, as Tom did in commit 265f94ff54d62 ("net: Recompute sk_txhash on negative routing advice") for established sockets. This has nice effect making TCP flows resilient to some kind of black holes, even at connection establish phase.

This patch allows a server application to get the TCP SYN headers for its passive connections. This is useful if the server is doing fingerprinting of clients based on SYN packet contents. Two socket options are added: TCP_SAVE_SYN and TCP_SAVED_SYN. The first is used on a socket to enable saving the SYN headers for child connections. This can be set before or after the listen() call. The latter is used to retrieve the SYN headers for passive connections, if the parent listener has enabled TCP_SAVE_SYN. TCP_SAVED_SYN is read once, it frees the saved SYN headers. The data returned in TCP_SAVED_SYN are network (IPv4/IPv6) and TCP headers.

Fast Open has been using an experimental option with a magic number (RFC6994). This patch makes the client by default use the RFC7413 option (34) to get and send Fast Open cookies. This patch makes the client solicit cookies from a given server first with the RFC7413 option. If that fails to elicit a cookie, then it tries the RFC6994 experimental option. If that also fails, it uses the RFC7413 option on all subsequent connect attempts. If the server returns a Fast Open cookie then the client caches the form of the option that successfully elicited a cookie, and uses that form on later connects when it presents that cookie. The idea is to gradually obsolete the use of experimental options as the servers and clients upgrade, while keeping the interoperability meanwhile.

Current algorithm uses a per socket tso_deferred field as a pseudo timer. This pseudo timer relies on future ACK, but there is no guarantee we receive them in time. Fix would be to use a real timer, but cost of such timer is probably too expensive for typical cases.

2014-12-09tcp: refine TSO autosizingEric Dumazet1-1/+1
Commit 95bd09eb2750 ("tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing") tried to control TSO size, but did this at the wrong place (sendmsg() time) At sendmsg() time, we might have a pessimistic view of flow rate, and we end up building very small skbs (with 2 MSS per skb). This is bad because : - It sends small TSO packets even in Slow Start where rate quickly increases. - It tends to make socket write queue very big, increasing tcp_ack() processing time, but also increasing memory needs, not necessarily accounted for, as fast clones overhead is currently ignored. - Lower GRO efficiency and more ACK packets. Servers with a lot of small lived connections suffer from this. Lets instead fill skbs as much as possible (64KB of payload), but split them at xmit time, when we have a precise idea of the flow rate. skb split is actually quite efficient. Patch looks bigger than necessary, because TCP Small Queue decision now has to take place after the eventual split. As Neal suggested, introduce a new tcp_tso_autosize() helper, so that tcp_tso_should_defer() can be synchronized on same goal. Rename tp->xmit_size_goal_segs to tp->gso_segs, as this variable contains number of mss that we can put in GSO packet, and is not related to the autosizing goal anymore.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Most notable changes in here: 1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon.

Summary: 1/ Step down as dmaengine maintainer see commit 08223d80df38 "dmaengine maintainer update" 2/ Removal of net_dma, as it has been marked 'broken' since 3.13 (commit 77873803363c "net_dma: mark broken"), without reports of performance regression. 3/ Miscellaneous fixes" * tag 'dmaengine-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/dmaengine: net: make tcp_cleanup_rbuf private net_dma: revert 'copied_early' net_dma: simple removal dmaengine maintainer update dmatest: prevent memory leakage on error path in thread ioat: Use time_before_jiffies() dmaengine: fix xor sources continuation dma: mv_xor: Rename __mv_xor_slot_cleanup() to mv_xor_slot_cleanup() dma: mv_xor: Remove all callers of mv_xor_slot_cleanup() dma: mv_xor: Remove unneeded mv_xor_clean_completed_slots() call ioat: Use pci_enable_msix_exact() instead of pci_enable_msix() drivers: dma: Include appropriate header file in dca.c drivers: dma: Mark functions as static in dma_v3.c dma: mv_xor: Add DMA API error checks ioat/dca: Use dev_is_pci() to check whether it is pci device
2014-09-28net_dma: simple removalDan Williams1-8/+0
Per commit "77873803363c net_dma: mark broken" net_dma is no longer used and there is no plan to fix it. This is the mechanical removal of bits in CONFIG_NET_DMA ifdef guards. Reverting the remainder of the net_dma induced changes is deferred to subsequent patches.

2014-08-22tcp: improve undo on timeoutYuchung Cheng1-1/+1
Upon timeout, undo (via both timestamps/Eifel and DSACKs) was disabled if any retransmits were still in flight. The concern was perhaps that spurious retransmission sent in a previous recovery episode may trigger DSACKs to falsely undo the current recovery. However, this inadvertently misses undo opportunities (using either TCP timestamps or DSACKs) when timeout occurs during a loss episode, i.e. recurring timeouts or timeout during fast recovery. In these cases some retransmissions will be in flight but we should allow undo. Furthermore, we should only reset undo_marker and undo_retrans upon timeout if we are starting a new recovery episode. Finally, when we do reset our undo state, we now do so in a manner similar to tcp_enter_recovery(), so that we require a DSACK for each of the outstsanding retransmissions. This will achieve the original goal by requiring that we receive the same number of DSACKs as retransmissions. This patch increases the undo events by 50% on Google servers.
