As SACK blocks tend to eat all option space when there are many holes, it is useful to compromise on sending many SACK blocks in every ACK and attempt to fit the AccECN option there by reducing the number of SACK blocks. However, it will never go below two SACK blocks because of the AccECN option. As the AccECN option is often not put to every ACK, the space hijack is usually only temporary. Depending on the reuqired AccECN fields (can be either 3, 2, 1, or 0, cf. Table 5 in AccECN spec) and the NOPs used for alignment of other TCP options, up to two SACK blocks will be reduced. Please find below tables for more details: +====================+=========================================+ | Number of | Required | Remaining | Number of | Final | | SACK | AccECN | option | reduced | number of | | blocks | fields | spaces | SACK blocks | SACK blocks | +===========+==========+===========+=============+=============+ | x (<=2) | 0 to 3 | any | 0 | x | +-----------+----------+-----------+-------------+-------------+ | 3 | 0 | any | 0 | 3 | | 3 | 1 | <4 | 1 | 2 | | 3 | 1 | >=4 | 0 | 3 | | 3 | 2 | <8 | 1 | 2 | | 3 | 2 | >=8 | 0 | 3 | | 3 | 3 | <12 | 1 | 2 | | 3 | 3 | >=12 | 0 | 3 | +-----------+----------+-----------+-------------+-------------+ | y (>=4) | 0 | any | 0 | y | | y (>=4) | 1 | <4 | 1 | y-1 | | y (>=4) | 1 | >=4 | 0 | y | | y (>=4) | 2 | <8 | 1 | y-1 | | y (>=4) | 2 | >=8 | 0 | y | | y (>=4) | 3 | <4 | 2 | y-2 | | y (>=4) | 3 | <12 | 1 | y-1 | | y (>=4) | 3 | >=12 | 0 | y | +===========+==========+===========+=============+=============+ Signed-off-by: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com> Co-developed-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ij@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ij@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250916082434.100722-11-chia-yu.chang@nokia-bell-labs.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
