tcp: adjust rcvq_space after updating scaling ratio
Since commit under Fixes we set the window clamp in accordance
to newly measured rcvbuf scaling_ratio. If the scaling_ratio
decreased significantly we may put ourselves in a situation
where windows become smaller than rcvq_space, preventing
tcp_rcv_space_adjust() from increasing rcvbuf.
The significant decrease of scaling_ratio is far more likely
since commit 697a6c8 ("tcp: increase the default TCP scaling ratio"),
which increased the "default" scaling ratio from ~30% to 50%.
Hitting the bad condition depends a lot on TCP tuning, and
drivers at play. One of Meta's workloads hits it reliably
under following conditions:
- default rcvbuf of 125k
- sender MTU 1500, receiver MTU 5000
- driver settles on scaling_ratio of 78 for the config above.
Initial rcvq_space gets calculated as TCP_INIT_CWND * tp->advmss
(10 * 5k = 50k). Once we find out the true scaling ratio and
MSS we clamp the windows to 38k. Triggering the condition also
depends on the message sequence of this workload. I can't repro
the problem with simple iperf or TCP_RR-style tests.
