Eric Dumazet 9a568de481 tcp: switch TCP TS option (RFC 7323) to 1ms clock
TCP Timestamps option is defined in RFC 7323

Traditionally on linux, it has been tied to the internal
'jiffies' variable, because it had been a cheap and good enough
generator.

For TCP flows on the Internet, 1 ms resolution would be much better
than 4ms or 10ms (HZ=250 or HZ=100 respectively)

For TCP flows in the DC, Google has used usec resolution for more
than two years with great success [1]

Receive size autotuning (DRS) is indeed more precise and converges
faster to optimal window size.

This patch converts tp->tcp_mstamp to a plain u64 value storing
a 1 usec TCP clock.

This choice will allow us to upstream the 1 usec TS option as
discussed in IETF 97.

Florian Westphal e97991832a tcp: make undo_cwnd mandatory for congestion modules
The undo_cwnd fallback in the stack doubles cwnd based on ssthresh,
which un-does reno halving behaviour.

It seems more appropriate to let congctl algorithms pair .ssthresh
and .undo_cwnd properly. Add a 'tcp_reno_undo_cwnd' function and wire it
up for all congestion algorithms that used to rely on the fallback.

Lawrence Brakmo 756ee1729b tcp: replace cnt & rtt with struct in pkts_acked()
Replace 2 arguments (cnt and rtt) in the congestion control modules'
pkts_acked() function with a struct. This will allow adding more
information without having to modify existing congestion control
modules (tcp_nv in particular needs bytes in flight when packet
was sent).

As proposed by Neal Cardwell in his comments to the tcp_nv patch.

Eric Dumazet 740b0f1841 tcp: switch rtt estimations to usec resolution
Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT
estimations. Millisecond resolution is simply not enough these days.

FQ/pacing in DC environments also require this change for finer control
and removal of bimodal behavior due to the current hack in
tcp_update_pacing_rate() for 'small rtt'

TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP is no longer needed.

As Julian Anastasov pointed out, we need to keep user compatibility :
tcp_metrics used to export RTT and RTTVAR in msec resolution,
so we added RTT_US and RTTVAR_US. An iproute2 patch is needed
to use the new attributes if provided by the kernel.

In this example ss command displays a srtt of 32 usecs (10Gbit link)

lpk51:~# ./ss -i dst lpk52
Netid  State      Recv-Q Send-Q   Local Address:Port       Peer

Updated iproute2 ip command displays :

Yuchung Cheng 9f9843a751 tcp: properly handle stretch acks in slow start
Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets,
regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance
is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by
receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK,
GRO, etc).  But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of
packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree
N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A
follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1)
to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase.

In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start
(LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The
fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even
though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global
sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the
slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow
start (hystart) enabled by default.

Stephen Hemminger 30cfd0baf0 [TCP]: congestion control API pass RTT in microseconds
This patch changes the API for the callback that is done after an ACK is
received. It solves a couple of issues:

  * Some congestion controls want higher resolution value of RTT
    (controlled by TCP_CONG_RTT_SAMPLE flag). These don't really want a ktime, but
    all compute a RTT in microseconds.

  * Other congestion control could use RTT at jiffies resolution.

To keep API consistent the units should be the same for both cases, just the
resolution should change.

Ilpo Järvinen b9ce204f0a [TCP]: Congestion control API RTT sampling fix
Commit 164891aadf broke RTT
sampling of congestion control modules. Inaccurate timestamps
could be fed to them without providing any way for them to
identify such cases. Previously RTT sampler was called only if
FLAG_RETRANS_DATA_ACKED was not set filtering inaccurate
timestamps nicely. In addition, the new behavior could give an
invalid timestamp (zero) to RTT sampler if only skbs with
TCPCB_RETRANS were ACKed. This solves both problems.

Wong Hoi Sing Edison 7c106d7e78 [TCP]: TCP Low Priority congestion control
TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only
 the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of
 bandwidth as targeted by TCP. Available from:
   http://www.ece.rice.edu/~akuzma/Doc/akuzma/TCP-LP.pdf

Original Author:
 Aleksandar Kuzmanovic <akuzma@northwestern.edu>

See http://www-ece.rice.edu/networks/TCP-LP/ for their implementation.
As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from
the original TCP-LP implementation:
 o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking
   within cong_avoid.
 o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped
   on checking and updating.
 o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, sicne
   OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular.
 o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within
   pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code.
 o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in
   tcp_time_stamp format.
