Some devices or distributions use HZ=100 or HZ=250 TCP receive buffer autotuning has poor behavior caused by this choice. Since autotuning happens after 4 ms or 10 ms, short distance flows get their receive buffer tuned to a very high value, but after an initial period where it was frozen to (too small) initial value. With tp->tcp_mstamp introduction, we can switch to high resolution timestamps almost for free (at the expense of 8 additional bytes per TCP structure) Note that some TCP stacks use usec TCP timestamps where this patch makes even more sense : Many TCP flows have < 500 usec RTT. Hopefully this finer TS option can be standardized soon. Tested: HZ=100 kernel ./netperf -H lpaa24 -t TCP_RR -l 1000 -- -r 10000,10000 & Peer without patch : lpaa24:~# ss -tmi dst lpaa23 ... skmem:(r0,rb8388608,...) rcv_rtt:10 rcv_space:3210000 minrtt:0.017 Peer with the patch : lpaa23:~# ss -tmi dst lpaa24 ... skmem:(r0,rb428800,...) rcv_rtt:0.069 rcv_space:30000 minrtt:0.017 We can see saner RCVBUF, and more precise rcv_rtt information.

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.
