Eric Dumazet ecfea98b7d tcp: add net.ipv4.tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt 
This is a follow up of commit aa251c8463 ("tcp: fix too slow
tcp_rcvbuf_grow() action") which brought again the issue that I tried
to fix in commit 65c5287892 ("tcp: fix sk_rcvbuf overshoot")

We also recently increased tcp_rmem[2] to 32 MB in commit 572be9bf9d
("tcp: increase tcp_rmem[2] to 32 MB")

Idea of this patch is to not let tcp_rcvbuf_grow() grow sk->sk_rcvbuf
too fast for small RTT flows. If sk->sk_rcvbuf is too big, this can
force NIC driver to not recycle pages from their page pool, and also
can cause cache evictions for DDIO enabled cpus/NIC, as receivers
are usually slower than senders.

Add net.ipv4.tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl, set by default to 1000 usec (1 ms)

If RTT if smaller than the sysctl value, use the RTT/tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt
ratio to control sk_rcvbuf inflation.

Tested:

Pair of hosts with a 200Gbit IDPF NIC. Using netperf/netserver

Client initiates 8 TCP bulk flows, asking netserver to use CPU #10 only.

super_netperf 8 -H server -T,10 -l 30

On server, use perf -e tcp:tcp_rcvbuf_grow while test is running.

Before:

sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt=1
perf record -a -e tcp:tcp_rcvbuf_grow sleep 30 ; perf script|tail -20|cut -c30-230

We can see sk_rcvbuf values are much smaller, and that rtt_us (estimation of rtt
from a receiver point of view) is kept small, instead of being bloated.

No difference in throughput.
