Dear David
Actually, tcp_sk(sk)->snd_ssthresh is not initialized,
if initial_ssthresh is 0.
The patch should be
static void bictcp_init(struct sock *sk)
{
bictcp_reset(inet_csk_ca(sk));
- if (initial_ssthresh)
- tcp_sk(sk)->snd_ssthresh = initial_ssthresh;
+
+ tcp_sk(sk)->snd_ssthresh = initial_ssthresh;
}
Best Regards
Komuro
