Before commit a337531b94 ("tcp: up initial rmem to 128KB and SYN rwin to around 64KB")
small tcp_rmem[1] values were overridden by tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() to accommodate various MSS.
This is no longer the case, and Hazem Mohamed Abuelfotoh reported
that DRS would not work for MTU 9000 endpoints receiving regular (1500 bytes) frames.
Root cause is that tcp_init_buffer_space() uses tp->rcv_wnd for upper limit
of rcvq_space.space computation, while it can select later a smaller
value for tp->rcv_ssthresh and tp->window_clamp.
ss -temoi on receiver would show :
skmem:(r0,rb131072,t0,tb46080,f0,w0,o0,bl0,d0) rcv_space:62496 rcv_ssthresh:56596
This means that TCP can not increase its window in tcp_grow_window(),
and that DRS can never kick.
Fix this by making sure that rcvq_space.space is not bigger than number of bytes
that can be held in TCP receive queue.
People unable/unwilling to change their kernel can work around this issue by
selecting a bigger tcp_rmem[1] value as in :
echo "4096 196608 6291456" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem
