Eric Dumazet 5189c070a0 tcp: select sane initial rcvq_space.space for big MSS
[ Upstream commit 72d05c00d7ecda85df29abd046da7e41cc071c17 ]

Before commit a337531b94 ("tcp: up initial rmem to 128KB and SYN rwin to around 64KB")
small tcp_rmem[1] values were overridden by tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() to accommodate various MSS.

This is no longer the case, and Hazem Mohamed Abuelfotoh reported
that DRS would not work for MTU 9000 endpoints receiving regular (1500 bytes) frames.

Root cause is that tcp_init_buffer_space() uses tp->rcv_wnd for upper limit
of rcvq_space.space computation, while it can select later a smaller
value for tp->rcv_ssthresh and tp->window_clamp.

ss -temoi on receiver would show :

skmem:(r0,rb131072,t0,tb46080,f0,w0,o0,bl0,d0) rcv_space:62496 rcv_ssthresh:56596

This means that TCP can not increase its window in tcp_grow_window(),
and that DRS can never kick.

Fix this by making sure that rcvq_space.space is not bigger than number of bytes
that can be held in TCP receive queue.

People unable/unwilling to change their kernel can work around this issue by
selecting a bigger tcp_rmem[1] value as in :

echo "4096 196608 6291456" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem

Based on an initial report and patch from Hazem Mohamed Abuelfotoh
 https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20201204180622.14285-1-abuehaze@amazon.com/

Fixes: a337531b94 ("tcp: up initial rmem to 128KB and SYN rwin to around 64KB")
Fixes: 041a14d267 ("tcp: start receiver buffer autotuning sooner")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
