bpf: tcp: bpf_cubic: fix spurious HYSTART_DELAY exit upon drop in min RTT
Apply the fix from:
"tcp_cubic: fix spurious HYSTART_DELAY exit upon drop in min RTT"
to the BPF implementation of TCP CUBIC congestion control.
Repeating the commit description here for completeness:
Mirja Kuehlewind reported a bug in Linux TCP CUBIC Hystart, where
Hystart HYSTART_DELAY mechanism can exit Slow Start spuriously on an
ACK when the minimum rtt of a connection goes down. From inspection it
is clear from the existing code that this could happen in an example
like the following:
o The first 8 RTT samples in a round trip are 150ms, resulting in a
curr_rtt of 150ms and a delay_min of 150ms.
o The 9th RTT sample is 100ms. The curr_rtt does not change after the
first 8 samples, so curr_rtt remains 150ms. But delay_min can be
lowered at any time, so delay_min falls to 100ms. The code executes
the HYSTART_DELAY comparison between curr_rtt of 150ms and delay_min
of 100ms, and the curr_rtt is declared far enough above delay_min to
force a (spurious) exit of Slow start.
The fix here is simple: allow every RTT sample in a round trip to
lower the curr_rtt.
