This commit is a bug fix for the Linux TCP app-limited
(application-limited) logic that is used for collecting rate
(bandwidth) samples.
Previously the app-limited logic only looked for "bubbles" of
silence in between application writes, by checking at the start
of each sendmsg. But "bubbles" of silence can also happen before
retransmits: e.g. bubbles can happen between an application write
and a retransmit, or between two retransmits.
Retransmits are triggered by ACKs or timers. So this commit checks
for bubbles of app-limited silence upon ACKs or timers.
Why does this commit check for app-limited state at the start of
ACKs and timer handling? Because at that point we know whether
inflight was fully using the cwnd. During processing the ACK or
timer event we often change the cwnd; after changing the cwnd we
can't know whether inflight was fully using the old cwnd.

commit 97a9063518f198ec0adb2ecb89789de342bb8283 upstream.
If a TCP socket is using TCP_USER_TIMEOUT, and the other peer
retracted its window to zero, tcp_retransmit_timer() can
retransmit a packet every two jiffies (2 ms for HZ=1000),
for about 4 minutes after TCP_USER_TIMEOUT has 'expired'.
The fix is to make sure tcp_rtx_probe0_timed_out() takes
icsk->icsk_user_timeout into account.
Before blamed commit, the socket would not timeout after
icsk->icsk_user_timeout, but would use standard exponential
backoff for the retransmits.
Also worth noting that before commit e89688e3e978 ("net: tcp:
fix unexcepted socket die when snd_wnd is 0"), the issue
would last 2 minutes instead of 4.

commit 36534d3c54537bf098224a32dc31397793d4594d upstream.
Due to timer wheel implementation, a timer will usually fire
after its schedule.
For instance, for HZ=1000, a timeout between 512ms and 4s
has a granularity of 64ms.
For this range of values, the extra delay could be up to 63ms.
For TCP, this means that tp->rcv_tstamp may be after
inet_csk(sk)->icsk_timeout whenever the timer interrupt
finally triggers, if one packet came during the extra delay.
We need to make sure tcp_rtx_probe0_timed_out() handles this case.

[ Upstream commit 0ec986ed7bab6801faed1440e8839dcc710331ff ]
Loss recovery undo_retrans bookkeeping had a long-standing bug where a
DSACK from a spurious TLP retransmit packet could cause an erroneous
undo of a fast recovery or RTO recovery that repaired a single
really-lost packet (in a sequence range outside that of the TLP
retransmit). Basically, because the loss recovery state machine didn't
account for the fact that it sent a TLP retransmit, the DSACK for the
TLP retransmit could erroneously be implicitly be interpreted as
corresponding to the normal fast recovery or RTO recovery retransmit
that plugged a real hole, thus resulting in an improper undo.
For example, consider the following buggy scenario where there is a
real packet loss but the congestion control response is improperly
undone because of this bug:
+ send packets P1, P2, P3, P4
+ P1 is really lost
+ send TLP retransmit of P4
+ receive SACK for original P2, P3, P4
+ enter fast recovery, fast-retransmit P1, increment undo_retrans to 1
+ receive DSACK for TLP P4, decrement undo_retrans to 0, undo (bug!)
+ receive cumulative ACK for P1-P4 (fast retransmit plugged real hole)
The fix: when we initialize undo machinery in tcp_init_undo(), if
there is a TLP retransmit in flight, then increment tp->undo_retrans
so that we make sure that we receive a DSACK corresponding to the TLP
retransmit, as well as DSACKs for all later normal retransmits, before
triggering a loss recovery undo. Note that we also have to move the
line that clears tp->tlp_high_seq for RTO recovery, so that upon RTO
we remember the tp->tlp_high_seq value until tcp_init_undo() and clear
it only afterward.
Also note that the bug dates back to the original 2013 TLP
implementation, commit 6ba8a3b19e76 ("tcp: Tail loss probe (TLP)").
However, this patch will only compile and work correctly with kernels
that have tp->tlp_retrans, which was added only in v5.8 in 2020 in
commit 76be93fc0702 ("tcp: allow at most one TLP probe per flight").
So we associate this fix with that later commit.
