out if you have the default recvwin set up to 1Meg (like OCA's do) and you
have no window scaling (like the dupack checking code) then we have another

always want to do a window update, even when no data can be sent. Now in
cases where you are not pacing thats probably ok, you just send an extra
window update or two. However with bbr (and rack if its paced) every time
the pacer goes off its going to send a "window update".
Also in testing bbr I have found that if we are not responding to
data right away we end up staying in startup but incorrectly holding
a pacing gain of 192 (a loss). This is because the idle window code
does not restict itself to only work with PROBE_BW. In all other
states you dont want it doing a PROBE_BW state change.

Cubic calculates the new cwnd based on absolute time
elapsed since the start of an epoch. A cubic epoch is
started on congestion events, or once the congestion
avoidance phase is started, after slow-start has
completed.
When a sender is application limited for an extended
amount of time and subsequently a larger volume of data
becomes ready for sending, Cubic recalculates cwnd
with a lingering cubic epoch. This recalculation
of the cwnd can induce a massive increase in cwnd,
causing a burst of data to be sent at line rate by
the sender.
This adds a flag to reset the cubic epoch once a
session transitions from app-limited to cwnd-limited
to prevent the above effect.

Introducing flags to track the initial Wmax dragging and exit
from slow-start in TCP Cubic. This prevents sudden jumps in the
caluclated cwnd by cubic, especially when the flow is application
limited during slow start (cwnd can not grow as fast as expected).
The downside is that cubic may remain slightly longer in the
concave region before starting the convex region beyond Wmax again.

is to know the time to first byte in and time to first byte out. Currently we
have no way to know these all we have is t_starttime. That (t_starttime) tells us
what time the 3 way handshake completed. We don't know when the first
request came in or how quickly we responded. Nor from a client perspective
do we know how long from when we sent out the first byte before the
server responded.
This small change adds the ability to track the TTFB's. This will show up in
BB logging which then can be pulled for later analysis. Note that currently
the tracking is via the ticks variable of all three variables. This provides
a very rough estimate (hz=1000 its 1ms). A follow-on set of work will be
to change all three of these values into something with a much finer resolution
(either microseconds or nanoseconds), though we may want to make the resolution
configurable so that on lower powered machines we could still use the much
cheaper ticks variable.

of them have to do with TFO. Even the default stack
had one of the issues:
1) We need to make sure for rack that we don't advance
snd_nxt beyond iss when we are not doing fast open. We
otherwise can get a bunch of SYN's sent out incorrectly
with the seq number advancing.
2) When we complete the 3-way handshake we should not ever
append to reassembly if the tlen is 0, if TFO is enabled
prior to this fix we could still call the reasemmbly. Note
this effects all three stacks.
3) Rack like its cousin BBR should track if a SYN is on a
send map entry.
4) Both bbr and rack need to only consider len incremented on a SYN
if the starting seq is iss, otherwise we don't increment len which
may mean we return without adding a sendmap entry.

The main driver for the change is the need to improve notification mechanism.
Currently callers guess the operation data based on the rtentry structure
returned in case of successful operation result. There are two problems with
this appoach. First is that it doesn't provide enough information for the
upcoming multipath changes, where rtentry refers to a new nexthop group,
and there is no way of guessing which paths were added during the change.
Second is that some rtentry fields can change during notification and
protecting from it by requiring customers to unlock rtentry is not desired.
Additionally, as the consumers such as rtsock do know which operation they
request in advance, making explicit add/change/del versions of the functions
makes sense, especially given the functions don't share a lot of code.
With that in mind, introduce rib_cmd_info notification structure and
rib_<add|del|change>_route() functions, with mandatory rib_cmd_info pointer.
It will be used in upcoming generalized notifications.

Otherwise accept filters compiled into the kernel do not preempt
preloaded accept filter modules. Then, the preloaded file registers its
accept filter module before the kernel, and the kernel's attempt fails
since duplicate accept filter list entries are not permitted. This
causes the preloaded file's module to be released, since
module_register_init() does a lookup by name, so the preloaded file is
unloaded, and the accept filter's callback points to random memory since
preload_delete_name() unmaps the file on x86 as of r336505.
