Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] tcp: remove obsolete check in __tcp_retransmit_skb()
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>
TSQ provides a nice way to avoid bufferbloat on individual socket,
including retransmit packets. We can get rid of the old
heuristic:
/* Do not sent more than we queued. 1/4 is reserved for possible
* copying overhead: fragmentation, tunneling, mangling etc.
*/
if (refcount_read(&sk->sk_wmem_alloc) >
min_t(u32, sk->sk_wmem_queued + (sk->sk_wmem_queued >> 2),
sk->sk_sndbuf))
return -EAGAIN;
This heuristic was giving false positives according to Jakub,
whenever TX completions are delayed above RTT. (Ack packets
are processed by TCP stack before clones are orphaned/freed)
