tcp: Change txhash on every SYN and RTO retransmit
The current code changes txhash (flowlables) on every retransmitted SYN/ACK, but only after the 2nd retransmitted SYN and only after tcp_retries1 RTO retransmits. With this patch: 1) txhash is changed with every SYN retransmits 2) txhash is changed with every RTO. The result is that we can start re-routing around failed (or very congested paths) as soon as possible. Otherwise application health checks may fail and the connection may be terminated before we start to change txhash. v4: Removed sysctl, txhash is changed for all RTOs v3: Removed text saying default value of sysctl is 0 (it is 100) v2: Added sysctl documentation and cleaned code Tested with packetdrill tests Signed-off-by: Lawrence Brakmo <brakmo@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
