Wei Wang says: ==================== tcp: add 4 new stats This patch series adds 3 RFC4898 stats: 1. tcpEStatsPerfHCDataOctetsOut 2. tcpEStatsPerfOctetsRetrans 3. tcpEStatsStackDSACKDups and an addtional stat to record the number of data packet reordering events seen: 4. tcp_reord_seen Together with the existing stats, application can use them to measure the retransmission rate in bytes, exclude spurious retransmissions reflected by DSACK, and keep track of the reordering events on live connections. In particular the networks with different MTUs make bytes-based loss stats more useful. Google servers have been using these stats for many years to instrument transport and network performance. Note: The first patch is a refactor to add a helper to calculate opt_stats size in order to make later changes cleaner. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
