From 7c1f08154c4e34d10be41156375ce2b8ab591b0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuchung Cheng Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2019 15:46:14 -0700 Subject: tcp: undo initial congestion window on false SYN timeout Linux implements RFC6298 and use an initial congestion window of 1 upon establishing the connection if the SYN packet is retransmitted 2 or more times. In cellular networks SYN timeouts are often spurious if the wireless radio was dormant or idle. Also some network path is longer than the default SYN timeout. Having a minimal cwnd on both cases are detrimental to TCP startup performance. This patch extends TCP undo feature (RFC3522 aka TCP Eifel) to detect spurious SYN timeout via TCP timestamps. Since tp->retrans_stamp records the initial SYN timestamp instead of first retransmission, we have to implement a different undo code additionally. The detection also must happen before tcp_ack() as retrans_stamp is reset when SYN is acknowledged. Note this patch covers both active regular and fast open.
