This is based upon an excellent bug report from Eric Dumazet. tcp_ack() should clear ->icsk_probes_out even if there are packets outstanding. Otherwise if we get a sequence of ACKs while we do have packets outstanding over and over again, we'll never clear the probes_out value and eventually think the connection is too sick and we'll reset it. This appears to be some "optimization" added to tcp_ack() in the 2.4.x timeframe. In 2.2.x, probes_out is pretty much always cleared by tcp_ack(). Here is Eric's original report: ---------------------------------------- Apparently, we can in some situations reset TCP connections in a couple of seconds when some frames are lost. In order to reproduce the problem, please try the following program on linux-2.6.25.* Setup some iptables rules to allow two frames per second sent on loopback interface to tcp destination port 12000 iptables -N SLOWLO iptables -A SLOWLO -m hashlimit --hashlimit 2 --hashlimit-burst 1 --hashlimit-mode dstip --hashlimit-name slow2 -j ACCEPT iptables -A SLOWLO -j DROP iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp --dport 12000 -j SLOWLO Then run the attached program and see the output : # ./loop State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port ESTAB 0 40 127.0.0.1:54455 127.0.0.1:12000
