Neal Cardwell ffdcd3bd2b tcp: fix to allow timestamp undo if no retransmits were sent [ Upstream commit `e37ab73736` ] Fix the TCP loss recovery undo logic in tcp_packet_delayed() so that it can trigger undo even if TSQ prevents a fast recovery episode from reaching tcp_retransmit_skb(). Geumhwan Yu <geumhwan.yu@samsung.com> recently reported that after this commit from 2019: commit `bc9f38c832` ("tcp: avoid unconditional congestion window undo on SYN retransmit") ...and before this fix we could have buggy scenarios like the following: + Due to reordering, a TCP connection receives some SACKs and enters a spurious fast recovery. + TSQ prevents all invocations of tcp_retransmit_skb(), because many skbs are queued in lower layers of the sending machine's network stack; thus tp->retrans_stamp remains 0. + The connection receives a TCP timestamp ECR value echoing a timestamp before the fast recovery, indicating that the fast recovery was spurious. + The connection fails to undo the spurious fast recovery because tp->retrans_stamp is 0, and thus tcp_packet_delayed() returns false, due to the new logic in the 2019 commit: commit `bc9f38c832` ("tcp: avoid unconditional congestion window undo on SYN retransmit") This fix tweaks the logic to be more similar to the tcp_packet_delayed() logic before `bc9f38c832`, except that we take care not to be fooled by the FLAG_SYN_ACKED code path zeroing out tp->retrans_stamp (the bug noted and fixed by Yuchung in `bc9f38c832`). Note that this returns the high-level behavior of tcp_packet_delayed() to again match the comment for the function, which says: "Nothing was retransmitted or returned timestamp is less than timestamp of the first retransmission." Note that this comment is in the original 2005-04-16 Linux git commit, so this is evidently long-standing behavior.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
