stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.83 commit c5e4316d9c02e926ed74f53ecd65a757dcbe0cd9 bugzilla: 185879 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4QUVG
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit 4e1fddc98d2585ddd4792b5e44433dcee7ece001 ]
While testing BIG TCP patch series, I was expecting that TCP_RR workloads with 80KB requests/answers would send one 80KB TSO packet, then being received as a single GRO packet.
It turns out this was not happening, and the root cause was that cubic Hystart ACK train was triggering after a few (2 or 3) rounds of RPC.
Hystart was wrongly setting CWND/SSTHRESH to 30, while my RPC needed a budget of ~20 segments.
Ideally these TCP_RR flows should not exit slow start.
Cubic Hystart should reset itself at each round, instead of assuming every TCP flow is a bulk one.
Note that even after this patch, Hystart can still trigger, depending on scheduling artifacts, but at a higher CWND/SSTHRESH threshold, keeping optimal TSO packet sizes.
Tested:
ip link set dev eth0 gro_ipv6_max_size 131072 gso_ipv6_max_size 131072 nstat -n; netperf -H ... -t TCP_RR -l 5 -- -r 80000,80000 -K cubic; nstat|egrep "Ip6InReceives|Hystart|Ip6OutRequests"
Before:
8605 Ip6InReceives 87541 0.0 Ip6OutRequests 129496 0.0 TcpExtTCPHystartTrainDetect 1 0.0 TcpExtTCPHystartTrainCwnd 30 0.0
After:
8760 Ip6InReceives 88514 0.0 Ip6OutRequests 87975 0.0
