Currently the SYN RTO schedule follows an exponential backoff scheme, which can be unnecessarily conservative in cases where there are link failures. In such cases, it's better to aggressively try to retransmit packets, so it takes routers less time to find a repath with a working link. We chose a default value for this sysctl of 4, to follow the macOS and IOS backoff scheme of 1,1,1,1,1,2,4,8, ... MacOS and IOS have used this backoff schedule for over a decade, since before this 2009 IETF presentation discussed the behavior: https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/75/slides/tcpm-1.pdf This commit makes the SYN RTO schedule start with a number of linear backoffs given by the following sysctl: * tcp_syn_linear_timeouts This changes the SYN RTO scheme to be: init_rto_val for tcp_syn_linear_timeouts, exp backoff starting at init_rto_val For example if init_rto_val = 1 and tcp_syn_linear_timeouts = 2, our backoff scheme would be: 1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
