BBR uses tcp_tso_autosize() in an attempt to probe what would be the
burst sizes and to adjust cwnd in bbr_target_cwnd() with following
gold formula :
/* Allow enough full-sized skbs in flight to utilize end systems. */
cwnd += 3 * bbr->tso_segs_goal;
But GSO can be lacking or be constrained to very small
units (ip link set dev ... gso_max_segs 2)
What we really want is to have enough packets in flight so that both
GSO and GRO are efficient.
So in the case GSO is off or downgraded, we still want to have the same
number of packets in flight as if GSO/TSO was fully operational, so
that GRO can hopefully be working efficiently.
To fix this issue, we make tcp_tso_autosize() unaware of
sk->sk_gso_max_segs
Only tcp_tso_segs() has to enforce the gso_max_segs limit.
Tested:
ethtool -K eth0 tso off gso off
tc qd replace dev eth0 root pfifo_fast
Before patch:
for f in {1..5}; do ./super_netperf 1 -H lpaa24 -- -K bbr; done
691 (ss -temoi shows cwnd is stuck around 6 )

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.
