This bug can cause the connection to fail to remember that is_cwnd_limited is true, causing the connection to fail to grow cwnd when it should, causing throughput to be lower than it should be. The following event sequence is an example that triggers the bug: (a) The connection is cwnd_limited, but packets_out is not at its peak due to TSO deferral deciding not to send another skb yet. In such cases the connection can advance max_packets_seq and set tp->is_cwnd_limited to true and max_packets_out to a small number. (b) Then later in the round trip the connection is pacing-limited (not cwnd-limited), and packets_out is larger. In such cases the connection would raise max_packets_out to a bigger number but (unexpectedly) flip tp->is_cwnd_limited from true to false. This commit fixes that bug. One straightforward fix would be to separately track (a) the next window after max_packets_out reaches a maximum, and (b) the next window after tp->is_cwnd_limited is set to true. But this would require consuming an extra u32 sequence number. Instead, to save space we track only the most important information. Specifically, we track the strongest available signal of the degree to which the cwnd is fully utilized: (1) If the connection is cwnd-limited then we remember that fact for the current window. (2) If the connection not cwnd-limited then we track the maximum number of outstanding packets in the current window. In particular, note that the new logic cannot trigger the buggy (a)/(b) sequence above because with the new logic a condition where tp->packets_out > tp->max_packets_out can only trigger an update of tp->is_cwnd_limited if tp->is_cwnd_limited is false. This first showed up in a testing of a BBRv2 dev branch, but this buggy behavior highlighted a general issue with the tcp_cwnd_validate() logic that can cause cwnd to fail to increase at the proper rate for any TCP congestion control, including Reno or CUBIC.
