Current 1ms clock feeds ca->round_start, ca->delay_min, ca->last_ack. This is quite problematic for data-center flows, where delay_min is way below 1 ms. This means Hystart Train detection triggers every time jiffies value is updated, since "((s32)(now - ca->round_start) > ca->delay_min >> 4)" expression becomes true. This kind of random behavior can be solved by reusing the existing usec timestamp that TCP keeps in tp->tcp_mstamp Note that a followup patch will tweak things a bit, because during slow start, GRO aggregation on receivers naturally increases the RTT as TSO packets gradually come to ~64KB size. To recap, right after this patch CUBIC Hystart train detection is more aggressive, since short RTT flows might exit slow start at cwnd = 20, instead of being possibly unbounded. Following patch will address this problem. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
