| H A D | protocol.c | fb529e62 Sat May 16 03:46:18 CDT 2020 Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> mptcp: break and restart in case mptcp sndbuf is full
Its not enough to check for available tcp send space.
We also hold on to transmitted data for mptcp-level retransmits.
Right now we will send more and more data if the peer can ack data
at the tcp level fast enough, since that frees up tcp send buffer space.
But we also need to check that data was acked and reclaimed at the mptcp
level.
Therefore add needed check in mptcp_sendmsg, flush tcp data and
wait until more mptcp snd space becomes available if we are over the
limit. Before we wait for more data, also make sure we start the
retransmit timer if we ran out of sndbuf space.
Otherwise there is a very small chance that we wait forever:
* receiver is waiting for data
* sender is blocked because mptcp socket buffer is full
* at tcp level, all data was acked
* mptcp-level snd_una was not updated, because last ack
that acknowledged the last data packet carried an older
MPTCP-ack.
Restarting the retransmit timer avoids this problem: if TCP
subflow is idle, data is retransmitted from the RTX queue.
New data will make the peer send a new, updated MPTCP-Ack.
