From a2815817ffa68c7933a43eb55836d6e789bd4389 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neal Cardwell Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2017 09:19:53 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: enable xmit timer fix by having TLP use time when RTO should fire Have tcp_schedule_loss_probe() base the TLP scheduling decision based on when the RTO *should* fire. This is to enable the upcoming xmit timer fix in this series, where tcp_schedule_loss_probe() cannot assume that the last timer installed was an RTO timer (because we are no longer doing the "rearm RTO, rearm RTO, rearm TLP" dance on every ACK). So tcp_schedule_loss_probe() must independently figure out when an RTO would want to fire. In the new TLP implementation following in this series, we cannot assume that icsk_timeout was set based on an RTO; after processing a cumulative ACK the icsk_timeout we see can be from a previous TLP or RTO. So we need to independently recalculate the RTO time (instead of reading it out of icsk_timeout). Removing this dependency on the nature of icsk_timeout makes things a little easier to reason about anyway. Note that the old and new code should be equivalent, since they are both saying: "if the RTO is in the future, but at an earlier time than the normal TLP time, then set the TLP timer to fire when the RTO would have fired".
