Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] selftests: packetdrill: cover scaled rwnd quantization slack
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:51:37 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317065137.1533226-4-atwellwea@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260317065137.1533226-1-atwellwea@gmail.com>
Add a packetdrill reproducer for the scaled no-shrink quantization case.
The sequence leaves slightly more than 84 scaled units of backed credit
after one skb is drained. The buggy ALIGN() path rounds that up and
exposes a fresh extra unit, so the wire-visible window becomes 85.
Then queue a tiny OOO skb so the next ACK re-runs the no-shrink path
after a small receive-memory change without advancing rcv_nxt. With the
fix in place, both ACKs keep the sender-visible window at 84.
This provides fail-before/pass-after coverage for both the immediate
quantization bug and the follow-on ACK transition that reuses the stored
window state.
