Merge branch 'tcp-oom-probe'
Menglong Dong says:
====================
net: tcp: support probing OOM
In this series, we make some small changes to make the tcp
retransmission become zero-window probes if the receiver drops the skb
because of memory pressure.
In the 1st patch, we reply a zero-window ACK if the skb is dropped
because out of memory, instead of dropping the skb silently.
In the 2nd patch, we allow a zero-window ACK to update the window.
In the 3rd patch, fix unexcepted socket die when snd_wnd is 0 in
tcp_retransmit_timer().
In the 4th patch, we refactor the debug message in
tcp_retransmit_timer() to make it more correct.
After these changes, the tcp can probe the OOM of the receiver forever.
Changes since v3:
- make the timeout "2 * TCP_RTO_MAX" in the 3rd patch
- tp->retrans_stamp is not based on jiffies and can't be compared with
icsk->icsk_timeout in the 3rd patch. Fix it.
- introduce the 4th patch
Changes since v2:
- refactor the code to avoid code duplication in the 1st patch
- use after() instead of max() in tcp_rtx_probe0_timed_out()
Changes since v1:
- send 0 rwin ACK for the receive queue empty case when necessary in the
1st patch
- send the ACK immediately by using the ICSK_ACK_NOW flag in the 1st
patch
- consider the case of the connection restart from idle, as Neal comment,
in the 3rd patch
