From: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> stable inclusion from stable-5.10.60 commit 696afe28dc515f3987f4dc2ad071e8fc1e058ea8 bugzilla: 177018 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4EAUG Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 6de035fec045f8ae5ee5f3a02373a18b939e91fb ] Currently if BBR congestion control is initialized after more than 2B packets have been delivered, depending on the phase of the tp->delivered counter the tracking of BBR round trips can get stuck. The bug arises because if tp->delivered is between 2^31 and 2^32 at the time the BBR congestion control module is initialized, then the initialization of bbr->next_rtt_delivered to 0 will cause the logic to believe that the end of the round trip is still billions of packets in the future. More specifically, the following check will fail repeatedly: !before(rs->prior_delivered, bbr->next_rtt_delivered) and thus the connection will take up to 2B packets delivered before that check will pass and the connection will set: bbr->round_start = 1; This could cause many mechanisms in BBR to fail to trigger, for example bbr_check_full_bw_reached() would likely never exit STARTUP. This bug is 5 years old and has not been observed, and as a practical matter this would likely rarely trigger, since it would require transferring at least 2B packets, or likely more than 3 terabytes of data, before switching congestion control algorithms to BBR. This patch is a stable candidate for kernels as far back as v4.9, when tcp_bbr.c was added.
