Expand description
stall submodule.
Per-FD socket backpressure classifier — poll each socket FD’s kernel
send/recv buffer occupancy over successive samples and classify the
direction of the stall.
Verdicts, per (pid, fd):
TX-STALLED— the send buffer stays persistently near capacity and is not draining. The local process keeps writing but the kernel cannot hand the bytes off: the peer (or the network) is not reading.RX-STARVED— the receive buffer stays persistently high (and often grows). Bytes have arrived but the local process is notread()-ing them fast enough.HEALTHY— neither buffer is persistently backed up.
On macOS all four inputs (recv_queue/send_queue/recv_buf_size/
send_buf_size) are available, so classification is fill-ratio based. On
Linux /proc/net/tcp exposes the queue occupancies but not the socket buffer
limits, so the classifier falls back to a trend rule (persistently non-zero
and non-draining/growing).
