From: Ryan Sharpelletti <sharpelletti@google.com> stable inclusion from linux-4.19.160 commit 88c2cfa3f78120bc755e538ffa8b456fc2ecf874 -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 1b9e2a8c99a5c021041bfb2d512dc3ed92a94ffd ] During loss recovery, retransmitted packets are forced to use TCP timestamps to calculate the RTT samples, which have a millisecond granularity. BBR is designed using a microsecond granularity. As a result, multiple RTT samples could be truncated to the same RTT value during loss recovery. This is problematic, as BBR will not enter PROBE_RTT if the RTT sample is <= the current min_rtt sample, meaning that if there are persistent losses, PROBE_RTT will constantly be pushed off and potentially never re-entered. This patch makes sure that BBR enters PROBE_RTT by checking if RTT sample is < the current min_rtt sample, rather than <=. The Netflix transport/TCP team discovered this bug in the Linux TCP BBR code during lab tests.
