There are two flow control mechanisms in TIPC; one at link level that handles network congestion, burst control, and retransmission, and one at connection level which' only remaining task is to prevent overflow in the receiving socket buffer. In TIPC, the latter task has to be solved end-to-end because messages can not be thrown away once they have been accepted and delivered upwards from the link layer, i.e, we can never permit the receive buffer to overflow. Currently, this algorithm is message based. A counter in the receiving socket keeps track of number of consumed messages, and sends a dedicated acknowledge message back to the sender for each 256 consumed message. A counter at the sending end keeps track of the sent, not yet acknowledged messages, and blocks the sender if this number ever reaches 512 unacknowledged messages. When the missing acknowledge arrives, the socket is then woken up for renewed transmission. This works well for keeping the message flow running, as it almost never happens that a sender socket is blocked this way. A problem with the current mechanism is that it potentially is very memory consuming. Since we don't distinguish between small and large messages, we have to dimension the socket receive buffer according to a worst-case of both. I.e., the window size must be chosen large enough to sustain a reasonable throughput even for the smallest messages, while we must still consider a scenario where all messages are of maximum size. Hence, the current fix window size of 512 messages and a maximum message size of 66k results in a receive buffer of 66 MB when truesize(66k) = 131k is taken into account. It is possible to do much better. This commit introduces an algorithm where we instead use 1024-byte blocks as base unit. This unit, always rounded upwards from the actual message size, is used when we advertise windows as well as when we count and acknowledge transmitted data. The advertised window is based on the configured receive buffer size in such a way that even the worst-case truesize/msgsize ratio always is covered. Since the smallest possible message size (from a flow control viewpoint) now is 1024 bytes, we can safely assume this ratio to be less than four, which is the value we are now using. This way, we have been able to reduce the default receive buffer size from 66 MB to 2 MB with maintained performance. In order to keep this solution backwards compatible, we introduce a new capability bit in the discovery protocol, and use this throughout the message sending/reception path to always select the right unit.
