Revision 9aee40006190a3cda9a4d2dbae71e92617c8c362 authored by Lawrence Brakmo on 24 July 2018, 00:49:39 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 25 July 2018, 23:20:35 UTC
We observed high 99 and 99.9% latencies when doing RPCs with DCTCP. The problem is triggered when the last packet of a request arrives CE marked. The reply will carry the ECE mark causing TCP to shrink its cwnd to 1 (because there are no packets in flight). When the 1st packet of the next request arrives, the ACK was sometimes delayed even though it is CWR marked, adding up to 40ms to the RPC latency. This patch insures that CWR marked data packets arriving will be acked immediately. Packetdrill script to reproduce the problem: 0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 0.000 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 0.000 setsockopt(3, SOL_TCP, TCP_CONGESTION, "dctcp", 5) = 0 0.000 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0 0.000 listen(3, 1) = 0 0.100 < [ect0] SEW 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1000,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 7> 0.100 > SE. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 8> 0.110 < [ect0] . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 0.200 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4 0.200 < [ect0] . 1:1001(1000) ack 1 win 257 0.200 > [ect01] . 1:1(0) ack 1001 0.200 write(4, ..., 1) = 1 0.200 > [ect01] P. 1:2(1) ack 1001 0.200 < [ect0] . 1001:2001(1000) ack 2 win 257 0.200 write(4, ..., 1) = 1 0.200 > [ect01] P. 2:3(1) ack 2001 0.200 < [ect0] . 2001:3001(1000) ack 3 win 257 0.200 < [ect0] . 3001:4001(1000) ack 3 win 257 0.200 > [ect01] . 3:3(0) ack 4001 0.210 < [ce] P. 4001:4501(500) ack 3 win 257 +0.001 read(4, ..., 4500) = 4500 +0 write(4, ..., 1) = 1 +0 > [ect01] PE. 3:4(1) ack 4501 +0.010 < [ect0] W. 4501:5501(1000) ack 4 win 257 // Previously the ACK sequence below would be 4501, causing a long RTO +0.040~+0.045 > [ect01] . 4:4(0) ack 5501 // delayed ack +0.311 < [ect0] . 5501:6501(1000) ack 4 win 257 // More data +0 > [ect01] . 4:4(0) ack 6501 // now acks everything +0.500 < F. 9501:9501(0) ack 4 win 257 Modified based on comments by Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: Lawrence Brakmo <brakmo@fb.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
