From a0ea700e4095e26a8e291374757dd29519900f18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:10:20 -0800 Subject: tcp: tso: allow CA_CWR state in tcp_tso_should_defer() Another TCP issue is triggered by ECN. Under pressure, receiver gets ECN marks, and send back ACK packets with ECE TCP flag. Senders enter CA_CWR state. In this state, tcp_tso_should_defer() is short cut : if (icsk->icsk_ca_state != TCP_CA_Open) goto send_now; This means that about all ACK packets we receive are triggering a partial send, and because cwnd is kept small, we can only send a small amount of data for each incoming ACK, which in return generate more ACK packets. Allowing CA_Open and CA_CWR states to enable TSO defer in tcp_tso_should_defer() brings performance back : TSO autodefer has more chance to defer under pressure. This patch increases TSO and LRO/GRO efficiency back to normal levels, and does not impact overall ECN behavior.
