Subject: [PATCH net v2 3/3] rxrpc: Fix RACK-TLP implementation
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 21:12:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020201258.290827-4-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020201258.290827-1-dhowells@redhat.com>

Fix the RACK-TLP implementation in the following ways:

 (1) Move the "in/exiting Fast or RTO recovery" flags to the rxrpc_call
     struct rather than rxrpc_ack_summary so that they persist beyond ACK
     parsing to the next time rxrpc_congestion_management() happens (when
     the next ACK is parsed).  This allows those values to be accessed by
     RACK-TLP when invoked by the Reorder timer expiring.

 (2) In rxrpc_input_call_event(), rearm the RTO timer before the function
     returns if no other timer is running and if DATA packets have been
     sent but not yet ACK'd.  This prevents us not having a timer set to
     drive retransmission.

 (3) In rxrpc_congestion_management(), initialise the TLP state when
     entering the FAST_RETRANSMIT congestion control state, not every time
     we process that state - otherwise TLP doesn't happen in that state.

 (4) Don't reset segment_xmit_ts in rxrpc_rack_mark_lost() as that's called
     from two places, one of which shouldn't do that.  Instead, do it in
     rxrpc_rack_detect_loss().

 (5) In rxrpc_tlp_calc_pto(), check flight_size is at most one jumbo
     packet's worth of subpackets in size, not just any non-zero value
     (RFC8985 7.2 has a comparison against 1, so this is approximated
     because we'll be sending jumbo packets if possible).

 (6) In rxrpc_prepare_data_packet(), only increment call->tx_nr_resent if
     the DATA packet being retransmitted was not previously transmitted
     otherwise tx_nr_resent will keep getting bigger and cause RACK-TLP to
     malfunction (the value is used in the in-flight calculation).
     tx_nr_resent is decremented when a packet that has been retransmitted
     is discarded - but only by 1 per packet.

Fixes: 7c482665931b ("rxrpc: Implement RACK/TLP to deal with transmission stalls [RFC8985]")
