Florian Westphal 343dfaa198 Revert "dctcp: update cwnd on congestion event"
Neal Cardwell says:
 If I am reading the code correctly, then I would have two concerns:
 1) Has that been tested? That seems like an extremely dramatic
    decrease in cwnd. For example, if the cwnd is 80, and there are 40
    ACKs, and half the ACKs are ECE marked, then my back-of-the-envelope
    calculations seem to suggest that after just 11 ACKs the cwnd would be
    down to a minimal value of 2 [..]
 2) That seems to contradict another passage in the draft [..] where it
    sazs:
       Just as specified in [RFC3168], DCTCP does not react to congestion
       indications more than once for every window of data.

Neal is right.  Fortunately we don't have to complicate this by testing
vs. current rtt estimate, we can just revert the patch.

Normal stack already handles this for us: receiving ACKs with ECE
set causes a call to tcp_enter_cwr(), from there on the ssthresh gets
adjusted and prr will take care of cwnd adjustment.

/* DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) congestion control.
*
* http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP.html
*
* This is an implementation of DCTCP over Reno, an enhancement to the
* TCP congestion control algorithm designed for data centers. DCTCP
* leverages Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in the network to
* provide multi-bit feedback to the end hosts. DCTCP's goal is to meet
* the following three data center transport requirements:
*
* - High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate)
* - Low latency (short flows, queries)
* - High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers)
* with commodity shallow buffered switches
*
* The algorithm is described in detail in the following two papers:
*
* 1) Mohammad Alizadeh, Albert Greenberg, David A. Maltz, Jitendra Padhye,
* Parveen Patel, Balaji Prabhakar, Sudipta Sengupta, and Murari Sridharan:
* "Data Center TCP (DCTCP)", Data Center Networks session
* Proc. ACM SIGCOMM, New Delhi, 2010.
* http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp-final.pdf
*
* 2) Mohammad Alizadeh, Adel Javanmard, and Balaji Prabhakar:
* "Analysis of DCTCP: Stability, Convergence, and Fairness"
* Proc. ACM SIGMETRICS, San Jose, 2011.
* http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp_analysis-full.pdf
*
* Initial prototype from Abdul Kabbani, Masato Yasuda and Mohammad Alizadeh.
