Jean-Louis reported a TCP regression and bisected to recent SACK
compression.
After a loss episode (receiver not able to keep up and dropping
packets because its backlog is full), linux TCP stack is sending
a single SACK (DUPACK).
Sender waits a full RTO timer before recovering losses.
While RFC 6675 says in section 5, "Algorithm Details",
(2) If DupAcks < DupThresh but IsLost (HighACK + 1) returns true --
indicating at least three segments have arrived above the current
cumulative acknowledgment point, which is taken to indicate loss
-- go to step (4).
...
(4) Invoke fast retransmit and enter loss recovery as follows:
there are old TCP stacks not implementing this strategy, and
still counting the dupacks before starting fast retransmit.
While these stacks probably perform poorly when receivers implement
LRO/GRO, we should be a little more gentle to them.
This patch makes sure we do not enable SACK compression unless
3 dupacks have been sent since last rcv_nxt update.
Ideally we should even rearm the timer to send one or two
more DUPACK if no more packets are coming, but that will
be work aiming for linux-4.21.
Many thanks to Jean-Louis for bisecting the issue, providing
packet captures and testing this patch.

With EDT model, SRTT no longer is inflated by pacing delays.
This means that RTO and some other xmit timers might be setup
incorrectly. This is particularly visible with either :
- Very small enforced pacing rates (SO_MAX_PACING_RATE)
- Reduced rto (from the default 200 ms)
This can lead to TCP flows aborts in the worst case,
or spurious retransmits in other cases.
For example, this session gets far more throughput
than the requested 80kbit :
$ netperf -H 127.0.0.2 -l 100 -- -q 10000

Andrey reported the following warning triggered while running CRIU tests:
tcp_clean_rtx_queue()
...
last_ackt = tcp_skb_timestamp_us(skb);
WARN_ON_ONCE(last_ackt == 0);
This is caused by 5f6188a800 ("tcp: do not change tcp_wstamp_ns
in tcp_mstamp_refresh"), as we end up having skbs in retransmit queue
with a zero skb->skb_mstamp_ns field.
We could fix this bug in different ways, like making sure
tp->tcp_wstamp_ns is not zero at socket creation, but as Neal pointed
out, we also do not want that pacing status of a repaired socket
could push tp->tcp_wstamp_ns far ahead in the future.
So we prefer changing tcp_write_xmit() to not call tcp_update_skb_after_send()
and instead do what is requested by TCP_REPAIR logic.

When TCP implements its own pacing (when no fq packet scheduler is used),
it is arming high resolution timer after a packet is sent.
But in many cases (like TCP_RR kind of workloads), this high resolution
timer expires before the application attempts to write the following
packet. This overhead also happens when the flow is ACK clocked and
cwnd limited instead of being limited by the pacing rate.
This leads to extra overhead (high number of IRQ)
Now tcp_wstamp_ns is reserved for the pacing timer only
(after commit "tcp: do not change tcp_wstamp_ns in tcp_mstamp_refresh"),
we can setup the timer only when a packet is about to be sent,
and if tcp_wstamp_ns is in the future.
This leads to a ~10% performance increase in TCP_RR workloads.

In commit fefa569a9d ("net_sched: sch_fq: account for schedule/timers
drifts") we added a mitigation for scheduling jitter in fq packet scheduler.
This patch does the same in TCP stack, now it is using EDT model.
Note that this mitigation is valid for both external (fq packet scheduler)
or internal TCP pacing.
This uses the same strategy than the above commit, allowing
a time credit of half the packet currently sent.
Consider following case :
An skb is sent, after an idle period of 300 usec.
The air-time (skb->len/pacing_rate) is 500 usec
Instead of setting the pacing timer to now+500 usec,
it will use now+min(500/2, 300) -> now+250usec
This is like having a token bucket with a depth of half
an skb.

sk_pacing_rate has beed introduced as a u32 field in 2013,
effectively limiting per flow pacing to 34Gbit.
We believe it is time to allow TCP to pace high speed flows
on 64bit hosts, as we now can reach 100Gbit on one TCP flow.
This patch adds no cost for 32bit kernels.
The tcpi_pacing_rate and tcpi_max_pacing_rate were already
exported as 64bit, so iproute2/ss command require no changes.
Unfortunately the SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option will stay
32bit and we will need to add a new option to let applications
control high pacing rates.

In EDT design, I made the mistake of using tcp_wstamp_ns
to store the last tcp_clock_ns() sample and to store the
pacing virtual timer.
This causes major regressions at high speed flows.
Introduce tcp_clock_cache to store last tcp_clock_ns().
This is needed because some arches have slow high-resolution
kernel time service.
tcp_wstamp_ns is only updated when a packet is sent.
Note that we can remove tcp_mstamp in the future since
tcp_mstamp is essentially tcp_clock_cache/1000, so the
apparent socket size increase is temporary.

Previously TCP initial receive buffer is ~87KB by default and
the initial receive window is ~29KB (20 MSS). This patch changes
the two numbers to 128KB and ~64KB (rounding down to the multiples
of MSS) respectively. The patch also simplifies the calculations s.t.
the two numbers are directly controlled by sysctl tcp_rmem[1]:
1) Initial receiver buffer budget (sk_rcvbuf): while this should
be configured via sysctl tcp_rmem[1], previously tcp_fixup_rcvbuf()
always override and set a larger size when a new connection
establishes.
2) Initial receive window in SYN: previously it is set to 20
packets if MSS <= 1460. The number 20 was based on the initial
congestion window of 10: the receiver needs twice amount to
avoid being limited by the receive window upon out-of-order
delivery in the first window burst. But since this only
applies if the receiving MSS <= 1460, connection using large MTU
(e.g. to utilize receiver zero-copy) may be limited by the
receive window.
With this patch TCP memory configuration is more straight-forward and
more properly sized to modern high-speed networks by default. Several
popular stacks have been announcing 64KB rwin in SYNs as well.

TCP keeps track of tcp_wstamp_ns by itself, meaning sch_fq
no longer has to do it.
Thanks to this model, TCP can get more accurate RTT samples,
since pacing no longer inflates them.
This has the nice effect of removing some delays caused by FQ
quantum mechanism, causing inflated max/P99 latencies.
Also we might relax TCP Small Queue tight limits in the future,
since this new model allow TCP to build bigger batches, since
sch_fq (or a device with earliest departure time offload) ensure
these packets will be delivered on time.
Note that other protocols are not converted (they will probably
never be) so sch_fq has still support for SO_MAX_PACING_RATE
Tested:
Test showing FQ pacing quantum artifact for low-rate flows,
adding unexpected throttles for RPC flows, inflating max and P99 latencies.
The parameters chosen here are to show what happens typically when
a TCP flow has a reduced pacing rate (this can be caused by a reduced

Currently when a DCTCP receiver delays an ACK and receive a
data packet with a different CE mark from the previous one's, it
sends two immediate ACKs acking previous and latest sequences
respectly (for ECN accounting).
Previously sending the first ACK may mark off the delayed ACK timer
(tcp_event_ack_sent). This may subsequently prevent sending the
second ACK to acknowledge the latest sequence (tcp_ack_snd_check).
The culprit is that tcp_send_ack() assumes it always acknowleges
the latest sequence, which is not true for the first special ACK.
The fix is to not make the assumption in tcp_send_ack and check the
actual ack sequence before cancelling the delayed ACK. Further it's
safer to pass the ack sequence number as a local variable into
tcp_send_ack routine, instead of intercepting tp->rcv_nxt to avoid
future bugs like this.

When TCP receives an out-of-order packet, it immediately sends
a SACK packet, generating network load but also forcing the
receiver to send 1-MSS pathological packets, increasing its
RTX queue length/depth, and thus processing time.
Wifi networks suffer from this aggressive behavior, but generally
speaking, all these SACK packets add fuel to the fire when networks
are under congestion.
This patch adds a high resolution timer and tp->compressed_ack counter.
Instead of sending a SACK, we program this timer with a small delay,
based on RTT and capped to 1 ms :
delay = min ( 5 % of RTT, 1 ms)
If subsequent SACKs need to be sent while the timer has not yet
expired, we simply increment tp->compressed_ack.
When timer expires, a SACK is sent with the latest information.
Whenever an ACK is sent (if data is sent, or if in-order
data is received) timer is canceled.
Note that tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() is able to force a SACK to be sent
if the sack blocks need to be shuffled, even if the timer has not
expired.
A new SNMP counter is added in the following patch.
Two other patches add sysctls to allow changing the 1,000,000 and 44
values that this commit hard-coded.

BBR uses tcp_tso_autosize() in an attempt to probe what would be the
burst sizes and to adjust cwnd in bbr_target_cwnd() with following
gold formula :
/* Allow enough full-sized skbs in flight to utilize end systems. */
cwnd += 3 * bbr->tso_segs_goal;
But GSO can be lacking or be constrained to very small
units (ip link set dev ... gso_max_segs 2)
What we really want is to have enough packets in flight so that both
GSO and GRO are efficient.
So in the case GSO is off or downgraded, we still want to have the same
number of packets in flight as if GSO/TSO was fully operational, so
that GRO can hopefully be working efficiently.
To fix this issue, we make tcp_tso_autosize() unaware of
sk->sk_gso_max_segs
Only tcp_tso_segs() has to enforce the gso_max_segs limit.

Adds support for calling sock_ops BPF program when there is a
retransmission. Three arguments are used; one for the sequence number,
another for the number of segments retransmitted, and the last one for
the return value of tcp_transmit_skb (0 => success).
Does not include syn-ack retransmissions.
New op: BPF_SOCK_OPS_RETRANS_CB.

The two conditions triggering BUG_ON() are somewhat unrelated:
the tcp_skb_pcount() check is meant to catch TSO flaws, the
second one checks sanity of congestion window bookkeeping.
Split them into two separate BUG_ON() assertions on two lines,
so that we know which one actually triggers, when they do.

This patch enables tail loss probe in cwnd reduction (CWR) state
to detect potential losses. Prior to this patch, since the sender
uses PRR to determine the cwnd in CWR state, the combination of
CWR+PRR plus tcp_tso_should_defer() could cause unnecessary stalls
upon losses: PRR makes cwnd so gentle that tcp_tso_should_defer()
defers sending wait for more ACKs. The ACKs may not come due to
packet losses.
Disallowing TLP when there is unused cwnd had the primary effect
of disallowing TLP when there is TSO deferral, Nagle deferral,
or we hit the rwin limit. Because basically every application
write() or incoming ACK will cause us to run tcp_write_xmit()
to see if we can send more, and then if we sent something we call
tcp_schedule_loss_probe() to see if we should schedule a TLP. At
that point, there are a few common reasons why some cwnd budget
could still be unused:
(a) rwin limit
(b) nagle check
(c) TSO deferral
(d) TSQ
For (d), after the next packet tx completion the TSQ mechanism
will allow us to send more packets, so we don't really need a
TLP (in practice it shouldn't matter whether we schedule one
or not). But for (a), (b), (c) the sender won't send any more
packets until it gets another ACK. But if the whole flight was
lost, or all the ACKs were lost, then we won't get any more ACKs,
and ideally we should schedule and send a TLP to get more feedback.
In particular for a long time we have wanted some kind of timer for
TSO deferral, and at least this would give us some kind of timer

Fix the TLP scheduling logic so that when scheduling a TLP probe, we
ensure that the estimated time at which an RTO would fire accounts for
the fact that ACKs indicating forward progress should push back RTO
times.
After the following fix:
df92c8394e ("tcp: fix xmit timer to only be reset if data ACKed/SACKed")
we had an unintentional behavior change in the following kind of
scenario: suppose the RTT variance has been very low recently. Then
suppose we send out a flight of N packets and our RTT is 100ms:
t=0: send a flight of N packets
t=100ms: receive an ACK for N-1 packets
The response before df92c8394e that was:
-> schedule a TLP for now + RTO_interval
The response after df92c8394e is:
-> schedule a TLP for t=0 + RTO_interval
Since RTO_interval = srtt + RTT_variance, this means that we have
scheduled a TLP timer at a point in the future that only accounts for
RTT_variance. If the RTT_variance term is small, this means that the
timer fires soon.
Before df92c8394e this would not happen, because in that code, when
we receive an ACK for a prefix of flight, we did:
1) Near the top of tcp_ack(), switch from TLP timer to RTO
at write_queue_head->paket_tx_time + RTO_interval:
if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_LOSS_PROBE)
tcp_rearm_rto(sk);
2) In tcp_clean_rtx_queue(), update the RTO to now + RTO_interval:
if (flag & FLAG_ACKED) {
tcp_rearm_rto(sk);
3) In tcp_ack() after tcp_fastretrans_alert() switch from RTO
to TLP at now + RTO_interval:
if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_RETRANS)
tcp_schedule_loss_probe(sk);
In df92c8394e we removed that 3-phase dance, and instead directly
set the TLP timer once: we set the TLP timer in cases like this to
write_queue_head->packet_tx_time + RTO_interval. So if the RTT
variance is small, then this means that this is setting the TLP timer
to fire quite soon. This means if the ACK for the tail of the flight
takes longer than an RTT to arrive (often due to delayed ACKs), then
the TLP timer fires too quickly.

I had many reports that TSQ logic breaks wifi aggregation.
Current logic is to allow up to 1 ms of bytes to be queued into qdisc
and drivers queues.
But Wifi aggregation needs a bigger budget to allow bigger rates to
be discovered by various TCP Congestion Controls algorithms.
This patch adds an extra socket field, allowing wifi drivers to select
another log scale to derive TCP Small Queue credit from current pacing
rate.
Initial value is 10, meaning that this patch does not change current
behavior.
We expect wifi drivers to set this field to smaller values (tests have
been done with values from 6 to 9)
They would have to use following template :
if (skb->sk && skb->sk->sk_pacing_shift != MY_PACING_SHIFT)
skb->sk->sk_pacing_shift = MY_PACING_SHIFT;

Replace the reordering distance measurement in packet unit with
sequence based approach. Previously it trackes the number of "packets"
toward the forward ACK (i.e. highest sacked sequence)in a state
variable "fackets_out".
Precisely measuring reordering degree on packet distance has not much
benefit, as the degree constantly changes by factors like path, load,
and congestion window. It is also complicated and prone to arcane bugs.
This patch replaces with sequence-based approach that's much simpler.

While stress testing MTU probing, we had crashes in list_del() that we root-caused
to the fact that tcp_fragment() is unconditionally inserting the freshly allocated
skb into tsorted_sent_queue list.
But this list is supposed to contain skbs that were sent.
This was mostly harmless until MTU probing was enabled.
Fortunately we can use the tcp_queue enum added later (but in same linux version)
for rtx-rb-tree to fix the bug.
