When "idle" isn't idle: how a Linux kernel optimization became a QUIC bug

https://cf-assets.www.cloudflare.com/zkvhlag99gkb/3D1TRoX7XlUYeKDKhhWBs/d0bb523bd2c7937c812c8388c182dfcc/image9.png
A bug in the CUBIC congestion controller caused it to permanently pin the congestion window at its minimum and never recover from a congestion collapse event, resulting in a self-perpetuating recovery trap. The bug was fixed by changing just three lines of code to measure the idle duration from when bytes_in_flight actually transitioned to zero, rather than the last packet sent.
