Menglong Dong says: ==================== net: tcp: support probing OOM In this series, we make some small changes to make the tcp retransmission become zero-window probes if the receiver drops the skb because of memory pressure. In the 1st patch, we reply a zero-window ACK if the skb is dropped because out of memory, instead of dropping the skb silently. In the 2nd patch, we allow a zero-window ACK to update the window. In the 3rd patch, fix unexcepted socket die when snd_wnd is 0 in tcp_retransmit_timer(). In the 4th patch, we refactor the debug message in tcp_retransmit_timer() to make it more correct. After these changes, the tcp can probe the OOM of the receiver forever. Changes since v3: - make the timeout "2 * TCP_RTO_MAX" in the 3rd patch - tp->retrans_stamp is not based on jiffies and can't be compared with icsk->icsk_timeout in the 3rd patch. Fix it. - introduce the 4th patch Changes since v2: - refactor the code to avoid code duplication in the 1st patch - use after() instead of max() in tcp_rtx_probe0_timed_out() Changes since v1: - send 0 rwin ACK for the receive queue empty case when necessary in the 1st patch - send the ACK immediately by using the ICSK_ACK_NOW flag in the 1st patch - consider the case of the connection restart from idle, as Neal comment, in the 3rd patch ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
