tp->scaling_ratio is not updated based on skb->len/skb->truesize once SO_RCVBUF is set leading to the maximum window scaling to be 25% of rcvbuf after commit dfa2f048 ("tcp: get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale") and 50% of rcvbuf after commit 697a6c8c ("tcp: increase the default TCP scaling ratio"). 50% tries to emulate the behavior of older kernels using sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale with default value. Systems which were using a different values of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale in older kernels ended up seeing reduced download speeds in certain cases as covered in https://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2024/05/15/13 While the sysctl scheme is no longer acceptable, the value of 50% is a bit conservative when the skb->len/skb->truesize ratio is later determined to be ~0.66. Applications not specifying SO_RCVBUF update the window scaling and the receiver buffer every time data is copied to userspace. This computation is now used for applications setting SO_RCVBUF to update the maximum window scaling while ensuring that the receive buffer is within the application specified limit.
