During loss recovery, retransmitted packets are forced to use TCP
timestamps to calculate the RTT samples, which have a millisecond
granularity. BBR is designed using a microsecond granularity. As a
result, multiple RTT samples could be truncated to the same RTT value
during loss recovery. This is problematic, as BBR will not enter
PROBE_RTT if the RTT sample is <= the current min_rtt sample, meaning
that if there are persistent losses, PROBE_RTT will constantly be
pushed off and potentially never re-entered. This patch makes sure
that BBR enters PROBE_RTT by checking if RTT sample is < the current
min_rtt sample, rather than <=.
The Netflix transport/TCP team discovered this bug in the Linux TCP
BBR code during lab tests.
