From c3916ad9320eed8eacd7c0b2cf7f881efceda892 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2017 17:55:04 -0800 Subject: tcp: smoother receiver autotuning Back in linux-3.13 (commit b0983d3c9b13 ("tcp: fix dynamic right sizing")) I addressed the pressing issues we had with receiver autotuning. But DRS suffers from extra latencies caused by rcv_rtt_est.rtt_us drifts. One common problem happens during slow start, since the apparent RTT measured by the receiver can be inflated by ~50%, at the end of one packet train. Also, a single drop can delay read() calls by one RTT, meaning tcp_rcv_space_adjust() can be called one RTT too late. By replacing the tri-modal heuristic with a continuous function, we can offset the effects of not growing 'at the optimal time'. The curve of the function matches prior behavior if the space increased by 25% and 50% exactly. Cost of added multiply/divide is small, considering a TCP flow typically would run this part of the code few times in its life. I tested this patch with 100 ms RTT / 1% loss link, 100 runs of (netperf -l 5), and got an average throughput of 4600 Mbit instead of 1700 Mbit.
