      tcp: refactor F-RTO · 9b44190d
      Yuchung Cheng authored
      
      The patch series refactor the F-RTO feature (RFC4138/5682).
      
      This is to simplify the loss recovery processing. Existing F-RTO
      was developed during the experimental stage (RFC4138) and has
      many experimental features.  It takes a separate code path from
      the traditional timeout processing by overloading CA_Disorder
      instead of using CA_Loss state. This complicates CA_Disorder state
      handling because it's also used for handling dubious ACKs and undos.
      While the algorithm in the RFC does not change the congestion control,
      the implementation intercepts congestion control in various places
      (e.g., frto_cwnd in tcp_ack()).
      
      The new code implements newer F-RTO RFC5682 using CA_Loss processing
      path.  F-RTO becomes a small extension in the timeout processing
      and interfaces with congestion control and Eifel undo modules.
      It lets congestion control (module) determines how many to send
      independently.  F-RTO only chooses what to send in order to detect
      spurious retranmission. If timeout is found spurious it invokes
      existing Eifel undo algorithms like DSACK or TCP timestamp based
      detection.
      
      The first patch removes all F-RTO code except the sysctl_tcp_frto is
      left for the new implementation.  Since CA_EVENT_FRTO is removed, TCP
      westwood now computes ssthresh on regular timeout CA_EVENT_LOSS event.
