I am traveling today, but plan sending a patch series for cubic,
switching to usec resolution to solve its inability to properly
detect ack trains in the datacenter.
But still it will use jiffies32 in some spots,
as you mentioned already because of tp->lsndtime.
This means bpf could also stick to tp->tcp_mstamp
extract :
-static inline u32 bictcp_clock(void)
+static inline u32 bictcp_clock_us(const struct sock *sk)
{
-#if HZ < 1000
- return ktime_to_ms(ktime_get_real());
-#else
- return jiffies_to_msecs(jiffies);
-#endif
+ return tcp_sk(sk)->tcp_mstamp;
}
