tcp: annotate data-races around tp->snd_ssthresh

2026-04-18T18:10:12+00:00

tcp_get_timestamping_opt_stats() intentionally runs lockless, we must add READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() annotations to keep KCSAN happy.

tcp: add cwnd_event_tx_start to tcp_congestion_ops

2026-03-25T04:00:38+00:00

(tcp_congestion_ops)->cwnd_event() is called very often, with @event oscillating between CA_EVENT_TX_START and other values. This is not branch prediction friendly. Provide a new cwnd_event_tx_start pointer dedicated for CA_EVENT_TX_START. Both BBR and CUBIC benefit from this change, since they only care about CA_EVENT_TX_START.

tcp: add accessors to read/set tp->snd_cwnd

2022-04-06T19:05:41+00:00

We had various bugs over the years with code breaking the assumption that tp->snd_cwnd is greater than zero. Lately, syzbot reported the WARN_ON_ONCE(!tp->prior_cwnd) added in commit 8b8a321ff72c ("tcp: fix zero cwnd in tcp_cwnd_reduction") can trigger, and without a repro we would have to spend considerable time finding the bug. Instead of complaining too late, we want to catch where and when tp->snd_cwnd is set to an illegal value.

tcp: fix stretch ACK bugs in Yeah

2020-03-17T01:26:55+00:00

Change Yeah to properly handle stretch ACKs in additive increase mode by passing in the count of ACKed packets to tcp_cong_avoid_ai(). In addition, we re-implemented the scalable path using tcp_cong_avoid_ai() and removed the pkts_acked variable. Signed-off-by: Pengcheng Yang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: consolidate congestion control undo functions

2017-08-07T04:25:10+00:00

Most TCP congestion controls are using identical logic to undo cwnd except BBR. This patch consolidates these similar functions to the one used currently by Reno and others. Suggested-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: add cwnd_undo functions to various tcp cc algorithms

2016-11-21T18:20:17+00:00

congestion control algorithms that do not halve cwnd in their .ssthresh should provide a .cwnd_undo rather than rely on current fallback which assumes reno halving (and thus doubles the cwnd). All of these do 'something else' in their .ssthresh implementation, thus store the cwnd on loss and provide .undo_cwnd to restore it again. A followup patch will remove the fallback and all algorithms will need to provide a .cwnd_undo function. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: cwnd does not increase in TCP YeAH

2016-09-09T00:16:12+00:00

Commit 76174004a0f19785a328f40388e87e982bbf69b9 (tcp: do not slow start when cwnd equals ssthresh ) introduced regression in TCP YeAH. Using 100ms delay 1% loss virtual ethernet link kernel 4.2 shows bandwidth ~500KB/s for single TCP connection and kernel 4.3 and above (including 4.8-rc4) shows bandwidth ~100KB/s. That is caused by stalled cwnd when cwnd equals ssthresh. This patch fixes it by proper increasing cwnd in this case. Signed-off-by: Artem Germanov Acked-by: Dmitry Adamushko Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp: replace cnt & rtt with struct in pkts_acked()

2016-05-11T18:43:19+00:00

Replace 2 arguments (cnt and rtt) in the congestion control modules' pkts_acked() function with a struct. This will allow adding more information without having to modify existing congestion control modules (tcp_nv in particular needs bytes in flight when packet was sent).
