The 2023 SIGCOMM paper "Improving Network Availability with Protective ReRoute" has indicated Linux TCP's RTO-triggered txhash rehashing can effectively reduce application disruption during outages. To better measure the efficacy of this feature, this patch adds three more detailed stats during RTO recovery and exports via TCP_INFO. Applications and monitoring systems can leverage this data to measure the network path diversity and end-to-end repair latency during network outages to improve their network infrastructure. The following counters are added to tcp_sock in order to track RTO events over the lifetime of a TCP socket. 1. u16 total_rto - Counts the total number of RTO timeouts. 2. u16 total_rto_recoveries - Counts the total number of RTO recoveries. 3. u32 total_rto_time - Counts the total time spent (ms) in RTO recoveries. (time spent in CA_Loss and CA_Recovery states) To compute total_rto_time, we add a new u32 rto_stamp field to tcp_sock. rto_stamp records the start timestamp (ms) of the last RTO recovery (CA_Loss). Corresponding fields are also added to the tcp_info struct.

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. 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.
