tcp: add tcp_reset_xmit_timer() helper
With EDT model, SRTT no longer is inflated by pacing delays. This means that RTO and some other xmit timers might be setup incorrectly. This is particularly visible with either : - Very small enforced pacing rates (SO_MAX_PACING_RATE) - Reduced rto (from the default 200 ms) This can lead to TCP flows aborts in the worst case, or spurious retransmits in other cases. For example, this session gets far more throughput than the requested 80kbit : $ netperf -H 127.0.0.2 -l 100 -- -q 10000 MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 127.0.0.2 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 540000 262144 262144 104.00 2.66 With the fix : $ netperf -H 127.0.0.2 -l 100 -- -q 10000 MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 127.0.0.2 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size...
