SubjectRe: [RFC][PATCH][NET] Fix never pruned tcp out-of-order queue
Hello!

> I still think the guards are pretty much the same as before, sorry:)

Guards inside tcp_prune_queue() are the same exactly.

But the patch adds the second point where out-of-order queue is discarded.
It is when the socket is under rcvbuf, but nevertheless skb cannot
be queued due to system-wide limit. In that case out-of-order queue
is dropped and the limits are rechecked.


> But why not repeat the whole prune for all cases in this case then?

Collapsing and tuning rcv_ssthresh was done once, they are not guarded
by rcvbuf check. So, repeating those steps would be useless.

The only thing is:

> e.g. you should probably at least repeat the third step (setting
> pred_flags to 0) too.

Formally, this is correct. But this is not necessary, pred_flags reset
is redundant even in the first place. The fast path is not so fast,
memory limit is checked explicitly there.


The patch is not perfect. F.e. tcp_prune_ofo_queue() could see empty
out-of-order queue, in this case the second sk_stream_rmem_schedule()
is useless and could be skipped. But it is the second order effect.

I think this will work.
