Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/3] selftests: packetdrill: cover scaled rwnd quantization slack
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:04:10 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324060410.1137199-4-atwellwea@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324060410.1137199-1-atwellwea@gmail.com>
Add a packetdrill reproducer for the free_space-limited scaled
no-shrink quantization case.
Grow rcv_ssthresh with in-order data, then queue tiny OOO skbs so
receive memory drives raw free_space just below rcv_ssthresh without
advancing rcv_nxt. The final ACK reaches the case where raw free_space
sits just above 84 scaled units while rcv_ssthresh stays slightly
larger.
Old code rounds that final free_space value up and advertises 85. With
the fix, the ACK stays at 84.
This gives fail-before/pass-after coverage for the actual raw
free_space bug rather than the separate rcv_ssthresh-limited ALIGN-up
behavior.

v2:
- replace the old rcv_ssthresh-limited sequence with an OOO-memory
reproducer for the raw free_space case
- drop the follow-on ACK transition and keep the final free_space
failure case that proves the bug
- drop the IPv4-only restriction after verifying the test passes for
ipv4, ipv6, and ipv4-mapped-ipv6
- reword the in-file comments to describe the observed behavior without
referring to a removed path as "buggy"
