Subject[PATCH 3.19 008/123] tcp: fix tcp_cong_avoid_ai() credit accumulation bug with decreases in w
Date
3.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 9949afa42be0b76f5832db112ce51bb6b35b2abb ]

The recent change to tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to handle stretch ACKs
introduced a bug where snd_cwnd_cnt could accumulate a very large
value while w was large, and then if w was reduced snd_cwnd could be
incremented by a large delta, leading to a large burst and high packet
loss. This was tickled when CUBIC's bictcp_update() sets "ca->cnt =
100 * cwnd".

This bug crept in while preparing the upstream version of
814d488c6126.

Testing: This patch has been tested in datacenter netperf transfers
and live youtube.com and google.com servers.

Fixes: 814d488c6126 ("tcp: fix the timid additive increase on stretch ACKs")
