Current 1ms clock feeds ca->round_start, ca->delay_min, ca->last_ack. This is quite problematic for data-center flows, where delay_min is way below 1 ms. This means Hystart Train detection triggers every time jiffies value is updated, since "((s32)(now - ca->round_start) > ca->delay_min >> 4)" expression becomes true. This kind of random behavior can be solved by reusing the existing usec timestamp that TCP keeps in tp->tcp_mstamp Note that a followup patch will tweak things a bit, because during slow start, GRO aggregation on receivers naturally increases the RTT as TSO packets gradually come to ~64KB size. To recap, right after this patch CUBIC Hystart train detection is more aggressive, since short RTT flows might exit slow start at cwnd = 20, instead of being possibly unbounded. Following patch will address this problem. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
