This change is meant ot prevent stealing the skb->head to use as a page in
the event that the skb->head was cloned. This allows the other clones to
track each other via shinfo->dataref.
Without this we break down to two methods for tracking the reference count,
one being dataref, the other being the page count. As a result it becomes
difficult to track how many references there are to skb->head.

Before stealing fragments or skb head, we must make sure skbs are not
cloned.
Alexander was worried about destination skb being cloned : In bridge
setups, a driver could be fooled if skb->data_len would not match skb
nr_frags.
If source skb is cloned, we must take references on pages instead.
Bug happened using tcpdump (if not using mmap())

Implementing the advanced early retransmit (sysctl_tcp_early_retrans==2).
Delays the fast retransmit by an interval of RTT/4. We borrow the
RTO timer to implement the delay. If we receive another ACK or send
a new packet, the timer is cancelled and restored to original RTO
value offset by time elapsed. When the delayed-ER timer fires,
we enter fast recovery and perform fast retransmit.

This patch implements RFC 5827 early retransmit (ER) for TCP.
It reduces DUPACK threshold (dupthresh) if outstanding packets are
less than 4 to recover losses by fast recovery instead of timeout.
While the algorithm is simple, small but frequent network reordering
makes this feature dangerous: the connection repeatedly enter
false recovery and degrade performance. Therefore we implement
a mitigation suggested in the appendix of the RFC that delays
entering fast recovery by a small interval, i.e., RTT/4. Currently
ER is conservative and is disabled for the rest of the connection
after the first reordering event. A large scale web server
experiment on the performance impact of ER is summarized in
section 6 of the paper "Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP”,
IMC 2011. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011/docs/p155.pdf
Note that Linux has a similar feature called THIN_DUPACK. The
differences are THIN_DUPACK do not mitigate reorderings and is only
used after slow start. Currently ER is disabled if THIN_DUPACK is
enabled. I would be happy to merge THIN_DUPACK feature with ER if
people think it's a good idea.
ER is enabled by sysctl_tcp_early_retrans:
0: Disables ER
1: Reduce dupthresh to packets_out - 1 when outstanding packets < 4.
2: (Default) reduce dupthresh like mode 1. In addition, delay
entering fast recovery by RTT/4.
Note: mode 2 is implemented in the third part of this patch series.

TCP coalesce can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a
page fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area.
We had to disable coalescing in this case, for performance reasons.
We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself.
This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copies, since a
less sk_buff are fetched.
This makes receive and ofo queues shorter and thus reduce cache line
misses in TCP stack.
This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"
Tested with tg3 nic, with GRO on or off. We can see "TCPRcvCoalesce"

commit c8628155ec (tcp: reduce out_of_order memory use) took care of
coalescing tcp segments provided by legacy devices (linear skbs)
We extend this idea to fragged skbs, as their truesize can be heavy.
ixgbe for example uses 256+1024+PAGE_SIZE/2 = 3328 bytes per segment.
Use this coalescing strategy for receive queue too.
This contributes to reduce number of tcp collapses, at minimal cost, and
reduces memory overhead and packets drops.

but 'new_sample' had, this comparison would nearly always succeed,
leading us to erroneously set our receive-side RTT estimate to the 'm'

The overall effect is to often cause the receive-side RTT estimate to
be significantly too large (up to 40% too large for brief periods in

With increasing receive window sizes, but speed of light not improved
that much, out of order queue can contain a huge number of skbs, waiting
to be moved to receive_queue when missing packets can fill the holes.
Some devices happen to use fat skbs (truesize of 4096 + sizeof(struct
sk_buff)) to store regular (MTU <= 1500) frames. This makes highly
probable sk_rmem_alloc hits sk_rcvbuf limit, which can be 4Mbytes in
many cases.
When limit is hit, tcp stack calls tcp_collapse_ofo_queue(), a true
latency killer and cpu cache blower.
Doing the coalescing attempt each time we add a frame in ofo queue
permits to keep memory use tight and in many cases avoid the
tcp_collapse() thing later.
Tested on various wireless setups (b43, ath9k, ...) known to use big skb
truesize, this patch removed the "packets collapsed in receive queue due
to low socket buffer" I had before.
This also reduced average memory used by tcp sockets.

This commit fixes tcp_shift_skb_data() so that it does not shift
SACKed data below snd_una.
This fixes an issue whose symptoms exactly match reports showing
tp->sacked_out going negative since 3.3.0-rc4 (see "WARNING: at
net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:3418" thread on netdev).
Since 2008 (832d11c5cd)
tcp_shift_skb_data() had been shifting SACKed ranges that were below
snd_una. It checked that the *end* of the skb it was about to shift
from was above snd_una, but did not check that the end of the actual
shifted range was above snd_una; this commit adds that check.
Shifting SACKed ranges below snd_una is problematic because for such
ranges tcp_sacktag_one() short-circuits: it does not declare anything
as SACKed and does not increase sacked_out.
Before the fixes in commits cc9a672ee5
and daef52bab1, shifting SACKed ranges
below snd_una happened to work because tcp_shifted_skb() was always
(incorrectly) passing in to tcp_sacktag_one() an skb whose end_seq
tcp_shift_skb_data() had already guaranteed was beyond snd_una. Hence
tcp_sacktag_one() never short-circuited and always increased
tp->sacked_out in this case.
After those two fixes, my testing has verified that shifting SACKed
ranges below snd_una could cause tp->sacked_out to go negative with
the following sequence of events:
(1) tcp_shift_skb_data() sees an skb whose end_seq is beyond snd_una,
then shifts a prefix of that skb that is below snd_una
(2) tcp_shifted_skb() increments the packet count of the
already-SACKed prev sk_buff
(3) tcp_sacktag_one() sees the end of the new SACKed range is below
snd_una, so it short-circuits and doesn't increase tp->sacked_out
(5) tcp_clean_rtx_queue() sees the SACKed skb has been ACKed,
decrements tp->sacked_out by this "inflated" pcount that was
missing a matching increase in tp->sacked_out, and hence
tp->sacked_out underflows to a u32 like 0xFFFFFFFF, which casted
to s32 is negative.
(6) this leads to the warnings seen in the recent "WARNING: at
net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:3418" thread on the netdev list; e.g.:
tcp_input.c:3418 WARN_ON((int)tp->sacked_out < 0);
More generally, I think this bug can be tickled in some cases where
two or more ACKs from the receiver are lost and then a DSACK arrives
that is immediately above an existing SACKed skb in the write queue.
This fix changes tcp_shift_skb_data() to abort this sequence at step
(1) in the scenario above by noticing that the bytes are below snd_una
and not shifting them.

In tcp_mark_head_lost() we should not attempt to fragment a SACKed skb
to mark the first portion as lost. This is for two primary reasons:
(1) tcp_shifted_skb() coalesces adjacent regions of SACKed skbs. When
doing this, it preserves the sum of their packet counts in order to
reflect the real-world dynamics on the wire. But given that skbs can
have remainders that do not align to MSS boundaries, this packet count
preservation means that for SACKed skbs there is not necessarily a
direct linear relationship between tcp_skb_pcount(skb) and
skb->len. Thus tcp_mark_head_lost()'s previous attempts to fragment
off and mark as lost a prefix of length (packets - oldcnt)*mss from
SACKed skbs were leading to occasional failures of the WARN_ON(len >
skb->len) in tcp_fragment() (which used to be a BUG_ON(); see the
recent "crash in tcp_fragment" thread on netdev).
(2) there is no real point in fragmenting off part of a SACKed skb and
calling tcp_skb_mark_lost() on it, since tcp_skb_mark_lost() is a NOP
for SACKed skbs.

When tcp_shifted_skb() shifts bytes from the skb that is currently
pointed to by 'highest_sack' then the increment of
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq implicitly advances tcp_highest_sack_seq(). This
implicit advancement, combined with the recent fix to pass the correct
SACKed range into tcp_sacktag_one(), caused tcp_sacktag_one() to think
that the newly SACKed range was before the tcp_highest_sack_seq(),
leading to a call to tcp_update_reordering() with a degree of
reordering matching the size of the newly SACKed range (typically just
1 packet, which is a NOP, but potentially larger).
This commit fixes this by simply calling tcp_sacktag_one() before the
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq advancement that can advance our notion of the
highest SACKed sequence.
Correspondingly, we can simplify the code a little now that
tcp_shifted_skb() should update the lost_cnt_hint in all cases where
skb == tp->lost_skb_hint.

This commit ensures that lost_cnt_hint is correctly updated in
tcp_shifted_skb() for FACK TCP senders. The lost_cnt_hint adjustment
in tcp_sacktag_one() only applies to non-FACK senders, so FACK senders
need their own adjustment.
This applies the spirit of 1e5289e121 -
except now that the sequence range passed into tcp_sacktag_one() is
correct we need only have a special case adjustment for FACK.

This commit also removes a special-case adjustment to lost_cnt_hint in

Correctly implement a loss detection heuristic: New sequences (above
high_seq) sent during the fast recovery are deemed lost when higher
sequences are SACKed.
Current code does not catch these losses, because tcp_mark_head_lost()
does not check packets beyond high_seq. The fix is straight-forward by
checking packets until the highest sacked packet. In addition, all the
FLAG_DATA_LOST logic are in-effective and redundant and can be removed.
Update the loss heuristic comments. The algorithm above is documented
as heuristic B, but it is redundant too because heuristic A already
covers B.
Note that this change only marks some forward-retransmitted packets LOST.
It does NOT forbid TCP performing further CWR on new losses. A potential
follow-up patch under preparation is to perform another CWR on "new"
losses such as
1) sequence above high_seq is lost (by resetting high_seq to snd_nxt)
2) retransmission is lost.

The problem: Senders were overriding cwnd values picked during an undo
by calling tcp_moderate_cwnd() in tcp_try_to_open().
The fix: Don't moderate cwnd in tcp_try_to_open() if we're in
TCP_CA_Open, since doing so is generally unnecessary and specifically
would override a DSACK-based undo of a cwnd reduction made in fast
recovery.

Previously, SACK-enabled connections hung around in TCP_CA_Disorder
state while snd_una==high_seq, just waiting to accumulate DSACKs and
hopefully undo a cwnd reduction. This could and did lead to the
following unfortunate scenario: if some incoming ACKs advance snd_una
beyond high_seq then we were setting undo_marker to 0 and moving to
TCP_CA_Open, so if (due to reordering in the ACK return path) we
shortly thereafter received a DSACK then we were no longer able to
undo the cwnd reduction.
The change: Simplify the congestion avoidance state machine by
removing the behavior where SACK-enabled connections hung around in
the TCP_CA_Disorder state just waiting for DSACKs. Instead, when
snd_una advances to high_seq or beyond we typically move to
TCP_CA_Open immediately and allow an undo in either TCP_CA_Open or
TCP_CA_Disorder if we later receive enough DSACKs.
Other patches in this series will provide other changes that are
necessary to fully fix this problem.

The bug: When the ACK field is below snd_una (which can happen when
ACKs are reordered), senders ignored DSACKs (preventing undo) and did
not call tcp_fastretrans_alert, so they did not increment
prr_delivered to reflect newly-SACKed sequence ranges, and did not
call tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue, thus passing up chances to send out
more retransmitted and new packets based on any newly-SACKed packets.
The change: When the ACK field is below snd_una (the "old_ack" goto
label), call tcp_fastretrans_alert to allow undo based on any
newly-arrived DSACKs and try to send out more packets based on
newly-SACKed packets.
Other patches in this series will provide other changes that are
necessary to fully fix this problem.

The bug: Senders ignored DSACKs after recovery when there were no
outstanding packets (a common scenario for HTTP servers).
The change: when there are no outstanding packets (the "no_queue" goto
label), call tcp_fastretrans_alert() in order to use DSACKs to undo
congestion window reductions.

Allow callers to decide whether an ACK is a duplicate ACK. This is a
prerequisite to allowing fastretrans_alert to be called from new
contexts, such as the no_queue and old_ack code paths, from which we
have extra info that tells us whether an ACK is a dupack.

Adding const qualifiers to pointers can ease code review, and spot some
bugs. It might allow compiler to optimize code further.
For example, is it legal to temporary write a null cksum into tcphdr
in tcp_md5_hash_header() ? I am afraid a sniffer could catch the
temporary null value...

Since commit 356f039822 (TCP: increase default initial receive
window.), we allow sender to send 10 (TCP_DEFAULT_INIT_RCVWND) segments.
Change tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() to reflect this change, even if no real change
is expected, since sysctl_tcp_rmem[1] = 87380 and this value
is bigger than tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() computed rcvmem (~23720)
Note: Since commit 356f039822 limited default window to maximum of
10*1460 and 2*MSS, we use same heuristic in this patch.

skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head.
kmalloc() roundings are also ignored.
Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to
take it into account for better memory accounting.
This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various
assumptions into a single place.
At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of
skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of
reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks.
Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are
aligned to cache lines, as before.
Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of
misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory
limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a
more accurate memory accounting.

lost_skb_hint is used by tcp_mark_head_lost() to mark the first unhandled skb.
lost_cnt_hint is the number of packets or sacked packets before the lost_skb_hint;
When shifting a skb that is before the lost_skb_hint, if tcp_is_fack() is ture,
the skb has already been counted in the lost_cnt_hint; if tcp_is_fack() is false,
tcp_sacktag_one() will increase the lost_cnt_hint. So tcp_shifted_skb() does not
need to adjust the lost_cnt_hint by itself. When shifting a skb that is equal to
lost_skb_hint, the shifted packets will not be counted by tcp_mark_head_lost().
So tcp_shifted_skb() should adjust the lost_cnt_hint even tcp_is_fack(tp) is true.

While playing with a new ADSL box at home, I discovered that ECN
blackhole can trigger suboptimal quickack mode on linux : We send one
ACK for each incoming data frame, without any delay and eventual
piggyback.
This is because TCP_ECN_check_ce() considers that if no ECT is seen on a
segment, this is because this segment was a retransmit.
Refine this heuristic and apply it only if we seen ECT in a previous
segment, to detect ECN blackhole at IP level.
