Apply the fix from: "tcp_cubic: fix spurious HYSTART_DELAY exit upon drop in min RTT" to the BPF implementation of TCP CUBIC congestion control. Repeating the commit description here for completeness: Mirja Kuehlewind reported a bug in Linux TCP CUBIC Hystart, where Hystart HYSTART_DELAY mechanism can exit Slow Start spuriously on an ACK when the minimum rtt of a connection goes down. From inspection it is clear from the existing code that this could happen in an example like the following: o The first 8 RTT samples in a round trip are 150ms, resulting in a curr_rtt of 150ms and a delay_min of 150ms. o The 9th RTT sample is 100ms. The curr_rtt does not change after the first 8 samples, so curr_rtt remains 150ms. But delay_min can be lowered at any time, so delay_min falls to 100ms. The code executes the HYSTART_DELAY comparison between curr_rtt of 150ms and delay_min of 100ms, and the curr_rtt is declared far enough above delay_min to force a (spurious) exit of Slow start. The fix here is simple: allow every RTT sample in a round trip to lower the curr_rtt.
