When the sender switches its congestion control during loss recovery, if the recovery is spurious then it may incorrectly revert cwnd and ssthresh to the older values set by a previous congestion control. Consider a congestion control (like BBR) that does not use ssthresh and keeps it infinite: the connection may incorrectly revert cwnd to an infinite value when switching from BBR to another congestion control. This patch fixes it by disallowing such cwnd undo operation upon switching congestion control. Note that undo_marker is not reset s.t. the packets that were incorrectly marked lost would be corrected. We only avoid undoing the cwnd in tcp_undo_cwnd_reduction().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
