tcp: try to avoid safer when ACKs are thinned
Add newly acked pkts EWMA. When ACK thinning occurs, select between safer and unsafe cep delta in AccECN processing based on it. If the packets ACKed per ACK tends to be large, don't conservatively assume ACE field overflow. This patch uses the existing 2-byte holes in the rx group for new u16 variables withtout creating more holes. Below are the pahole outcomes before and after this patch: [BEFORE THIS PATCH] struct tcp_sock { [...] u32 delivered_ecn_bytes[3]; /* 2744 12 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ [...] __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_rx[0]; /* 2816 0 */ [...] /* size: 3264, cachelines: 51, members: 177 */ } [AFTER THIS PATCH] struct tcp_sock { [...] u32 delivered_ecn_bytes[3]; /* 2744 12 */ u16 pkts_acked_ewma; /* 2756 2 */ /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */ [...] __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_rx[0]; /* 2816 0 */ [...] /* size: 3264, cachelines: 51, members: 178 */ } Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ij@kernel.org> Co-developed-by: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com> Signed-off-by: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com> Acked-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260131222515.8485-2-chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
