From: Yuchung Cheng Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2018 13:04:52 +0000 (-0700) Subject: tcp: fix dctcp delayed ACK schedule X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b0c05d0e99d98d7f0cd41efc1eeec94efdc3325d;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git tcp: fix dctcp delayed ACK schedule Previously, when a data segment was sent an ACK was piggybacked on the data segment without generating a CA_EVENT_NON_DELAYED_ACK event to notify congestion control modules. So the DCTCP ca->delayed_ack_reserved flag could incorrectly stay set when in fact there were no delayed ACKs being reserved. This could result in sending a special ECN notification ACK that carries an older ACK sequence, when in fact there was no need for such an ACK. DCTCP keeps track of the delayed ACK status with its own separate state ca->delayed_ack_reserved. Previously it may accidentally cancel the delayed ACK without updating this field upon sending a special ACK that carries a older ACK sequence. This inconsistency would lead to DCTCP receiver never acknowledging the latest data until the sender times out and retry in some cases.
