[ Upstream commit f5da7c45188eea71394bf445655cae2df88a7788 ]
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 697a6c8cec03 ("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.
