This patch fixes CUBIC so that cwnd reductions made during RTOs can be undone (just as they already can be undone when using the default/Reno behavior). When undoing cwnd reductions, BIC-derived congestion control modules were restoring the cwnd from last_max_cwnd. There were two problems with using last_max_cwnd to restore a cwnd during undo: (a) last_max_cwnd was set to 0 on state transitions into TCP_CA_Loss (by calling the module's reset() functions), so cwnd reductions from RTOs could not be undone. (b) when fast_covergence is enabled (which it is by default) last_max_cwnd does not actually hold the value of snd_cwnd before the loss; instead, it holds a scaled-down version of snd_cwnd. This patch makes the following changes: (1) upon undo, revert snd_cwnd to ca->loss_cwnd, which is already, as the existing comment notes, the "congestion window at last loss" (2) stop forgetting ca->loss_cwnd on TCP_CA_Loss events (3) use ca->last_max_cwnd to check if we're in slow start Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Acked-by: Sangtae Ha <sangtae.ha@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
