[PATCH 4.19 157/243] tcp: fix SNMP TCP timeout under-estimation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e1561fe2dd69dc5dddd69bd73aa65355bdfb048b ]

Previously the SNMP TCPTIMEOUTS counter has inconsistent accounting:
1. It counts all SYN and SYN-ACK timeouts
2. It counts timeouts in other states except recurring timeouts and
   timeouts after fast recovery or disorder state.

Such selective accounting makes analysis difficult and complicated. For
example the monitoring system needs to collect many other SNMP counters
to infer the total amount of timeout events. This patch makes TCPTIMEOUTS
counter simply counts all the retransmit timeout (SYN or data or FIN).
