Previously when the sender fails to send (original) data packet or window probes due to congestion in the local host (e.g. throttling in qdisc), it'll retry within an RTO or two up to 500ms. In low-RTT networks such as data-centers, RTO is often far below the default minimum 200ms. Then local host congestion could trigger a retry storm pouring gas to the fire. Worse yet, the probe counter (icsk_probes_out) is not properly updated so the aggressive retry may exceed the system limit (15 rounds) until the packet finally slips through. On such rare events, it's wise to retry more conservatively (500ms) and update the stats properly to reflect these incidents and follow the system limit. Note that this is consistent with the behaviors when a keep-alive probe or RTO retry is dropped due to local congestion.

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.
