Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 2/2] selftests/net/packetdrill: cover SO_RCVBUF vs the route window clamp
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 21:27:15 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021155715.30094-3-jain.sm@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021155715.30094-1-jain.sm@gmail.com>

Add packetdrill tests for the interaction between SO_RCVBUF, a user
TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP and the route "window" metric (RTAX_WINDOW).

Active open, checked on the SYN:

 - tcp_rcvbuf_before_connect_window.pkt: SO_RCVBUF set before connect()
   must not defeat the route metric.

 - tcp_window_clamp_vs_rcvbuf.pkt: a clamp set with TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP must
   not be overwritten by a later SO_RCVBUF on the unconnected socket.

 - tcp_window_clamp_reset_rcvbuf.pkt: TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP=0 removes the
   user's clamp, so a later SO_RCVBUF must again not defeat the route
   metric.

 - tcp_fastopen_connect_rcvbuf_window.pkt: with TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT the
   SYN is deferred to the first write() while the socket sits in
   TCP_SYN_SENT; SO_RCVBUF applied in that gap must not defeat the route
   metric either.

Passive open, checked on the SYN-ACK and on the child:

 - tcp_rcvbuf_listener_window.pkt: SO_RCVBUF on the listener must not
   defeat the route metric.

 - tcp_window_clamp_vs_rcvbuf_listener.pkt: TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP and then
   SO_RCVBUF on the listener; the SYN-ACK must use the user's clamp.

 - tcp_syncookies_rcvbuf_window_ip4.pkt and its _ip6 twin: with
   net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies=2, the child created from the cookie must use
   the window scale the SYN-ACK advertised (tcpi_rcv_wscale).

Established socket:

 - tcp_window_clamp_rcvbuf_raise.pkt: after tcp_init_buffer_space()
   lowered window_clamp, a larger SO_RCVBUF must raise it again, up to
   the value set with TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP and not beyond.

All nine tests fail without the previous patch and pass with it. They
are picked up by the packetdrill selftest Makefile
(TEST_PROGS := $(wildcard *.pkt)).
