[PATCH net-next v3 0/6] tcp: RFC 7323-compliant window retraction handling
From: Simon Baatz via B4 Relay
Date: Mon Mar 09 2026 - 04:04:28 EST
Hi,
this series implements the receiver-side requirements for TCP window
retraction as specified in RFC 7323 and adds packetdrill tests to
cover the new behavior.
Please see the first patch for background and implementation
details. Since MPTCP adjusts the TCP receive window on subflows, the
relevant MPTCP code paths are updated accordingly.

Changes in v3:
- Address MPTCP subflow-level rcv_wnd adjustments
- Removed RFC status
- Adapt tcp_rcv_wnd_shrink_nomem.pkt to reflect 026dfef287c0 ("tcp:
give up on stronger sk_rcvbuf checks (for now)")
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260226-tcp_rfc7323_retract_wnd_rfc-v2-0-aa3f8f9cc639@xxxxxxxxx
Changes in v2:
- tcp_rcv_wnd_shrink_nomem.pkt tests more RX code paths using various
segment types. It also uses a more drastic rcv. buffer reduction (1MB
to 16KB).
- Setting the TCP_REPAIR_WINDOW socket option initializes rcv_mwnd_seq.
- SKB_DROP_REASON_TCP_OVERWINDOW increases LINUX_MIB_BEYOND_WINDOW now.
- Moved rcv_mwnd_seq into rcv_wnd's cacheline group.
- Small editorial changes
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260220-tcp_rfc7323_retract_wnd_rfc-v1-0-904942561479@xxxxxxxxx
