I think we want to keep it conditional, to avoid double-initialization if the BPF code sets the congestion control algorithm and initializes it. But that's relatively new and subtle, so it might be nice for this patch to add a comment about that, since it's touching this part of the code anyway:

-       icsk->icsk_ca_initialized = 0;
         bpf_skops_established(sk, bpf_op, skb);
+       /* Initialize congestion control unless a BPF op initialized it already: */
         if (!icsk->icsk_ca_initialized)
                 tcp_init_congestion_control(sk);

neal

I will make a new version with your comment.
Thank you very much for helping.
