tcp: reduce POLLOUT events caused by TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT
TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option or sysctl was added in linux-3.12
as a step to enable bigger tcp sndbuf limits.
It works reasonably well, but the following happens :
Once the limit is reached, TCP stack generates
an [E]POLLOUT event for every incoming ACK packet.
This causes a high number of context switches.
This patch implements the strategy David Miller added
in sock_def_write_space() :
- If TCP socket has a notsent_lowat constraint of X bytes,
allow sendmsg() to fill up to X bytes, but send [E]POLLOUT
only if number of notsent bytes is below X/2
This considerably reduces TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT overhead,
while allowing to keep the pipe full.
Tested:
100 ms RTT netem testbed between A and B, 100 concurrent TCP_STREAM
