6.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ba4e103848d3a2a28a0445e39f4a9564187efe54 ]
Make the following fixes to the congestion control algorithm:
(1) Don't vary the cwnd starting value by the size of RXRPC_TX_SMSS since
that's currently held constant - set to the size of a jumbo subpacket
payload so that we can create jumbo packets on the fly. The current
code invariably picks 3 as the starting value.
Further, the starting cwnd needs to be an even number because we ack
every other packet, so set it to 4.
(2) Don't cut ssthresh when we see an ACK come from the peer with a
receive window (rwind) less than ssthresh. ssthresh keeps track of
characteristics of the connection whereas rwind may be reduced by the
peer for any reason - and may be reduced to 0.
Fixes: 1fc4fa2ac93d ("rxrpc: Fix congestion management")
Fixes: 0851115090a3 ("rxrpc: Reduce ssthresh to peer's receive window")
