From 50c8339e9299aaf09e48c8f94de39baec638c874 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:10:19 -0800 Subject: tcp: tso: restore IW10 after TSO autosizing With sysctl_tcp_min_tso_segs being 4, it is very possible that tcp_tso_should_defer() decides not sending last 2 MSS of initial window of 10 packets. This also applies if autosizing decides to send X MSS per GSO packet, and cwnd is not a multiple of X. This patch implements an heuristic based on age of first skb in write queue : If it was sent very recently (less than half srtt), we can predict that no ACK packet will come in less than half rtt, so deferring might cause an under utilization of our window. This is visible on initial send (IW10) on web servers, but more generally on some RPC, as the last part of the message might need an extra RTT to get delivered. Tested: Ran following packetdrill test // A simple server-side test that sends exactly an initial window (IW10) // worth of packets. `sysctl -e -q net.ipv4.tcp_min_tso_segs=4` 0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0 +0 listen(3, 1) = 0 +.1 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 +.1 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 +0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4 +0 write(4, ..., 14600) = 14600 +0 > . 1:5841(5840) ack 1 win 457 +0 > . 5841:11681(5840) ack 1 win 457 // Following packet should be sent right now. +0 > P. 11681:14601(2920) ack 1 win 457 +.1 < . 1:1(0) ack 14601 win 257 +0 close(4) = 0 +0 > F. 14601:14601(0) ack 1 +.1 < F. 1:1(0) ack 14602 win 257 +0 > . 14602:14602(0) ack 2 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: David S.
