f9af2dbbfe tcp: Add TCP_INFO counter for packets received out-of-order
For receive-heavy cases on the server-side, we want to track the
connection quality for individual client IPs. This counter, similar to
the existing system-wide TCPOFOQueue counter in /proc/net/netstat,
tracks out-of-order packet reception. By providing this counter in
TCP_INFO, it will allow understanding to what degree receive-heavy
sockets are experiencing out-of-order delivery and packet drops
indicating congestion.

Please note that this is similar to the counter in NetBSD TCP_INFO, and
has the same name.

Also note that we avoid increasing the size of the tcp_sock struct by
taking advantage of a hole.

438ac88009 net: fastopen: robustness and endianness fixes for SipHash
Some changes to the TCP fastopen code to make it more robust
against future changes in the choice of key/cookie size, etc.

- Instead of keeping the SipHash key in an untyped u8[] buffer
  and casting it to the right type upon use, use the correct
  type directly. This ensures that the key will appear at the
  correct alignment if we ever change the way these data
  structures are allocated. (Currently, they are only allocated
  via kmalloc so they always appear at the correct alignment)

- Use DIV_ROUND_UP when sizing the u64[] array to hold the
  cookie, so it is always of sufficient size, even if
  TCP_FASTOPEN_COOKIE_MAX is no longer a multiple of 8.

- Drop the 'len' parameter from the tcp_fastopen_reset_cipher()
  function, which is no longer used.

- Add endian swabbing when setting the keys and calculating the hash,
  to ensure that cookie values are the same for a given key and
  source/destination address pair regardless of the endianness of
  the server.

Note that none of these are functional changes wrt the current
state of the code, with the exception of the swabbing, which only
affects big endian systems.

c681edae33 net: ipv4: move tcp_fastopen server side code to SipHash library
Using a bare block cipher in non-crypto code is almost always a bad idea,
not only for security reasons (and we've seen some examples of this in
the kernel in the past), but also for performance reasons.

In the TCP fastopen case, we call into the bare AES block cipher one or
two times (depending on whether the connection is IPv4 or IPv6). On most
systems, this results in a call chain such as

  crypto_cipher_encrypt_one(ctx, dst, src)
    crypto_cipher_crt(tfm)->cit_encrypt_one(crypto_cipher_tfm(tfm), ...);
      aesni_encrypt
        kernel_fpu_begin();
        aesni_enc(ctx, dst, src); // asm routine
        kernel_fpu_end();

It is highly unlikely that the use of special AES instructions has a
benefit in this case, especially since we are doing the above twice
for IPv6 connections, instead of using a transform which can process
the entire input in one go.

We could switch to the cbcmac(aes) shash, which would at least get
rid of the duplicated overhead in *some* cases (i.e., today, only
arm64 has an accelerated implementation of cbcmac(aes), while x86 will
end up using the generic cbcmac template wrapping the AES-NI cipher,
which basically ends up doing exactly the above). However, in the given
context, it makes more sense to use a light-weight MAC algorithm that
is more suitable for the purpose at hand, such as SipHash.

Since the output size of SipHash already matches our chosen value for
TCP_FASTOPEN_COOKIE_SIZE, and given that it accepts arbitrary input
sizes, this greatly simplifies the code as well.

NOTE: Server farms backing a single server IP for load balancing purposes
      and sharing a single fastopen key will be adversely affected by
      this change unless all systems in the pool receive their kernel
      upgrades at the same time.

3b4929f65b tcp: limit payload size of sacked skbs
Jonathan Looney reported that TCP can trigger the following crash
in tcp_shifted_skb() :

	BUG_ON(tcp_skb_pcount(skb) < pcount);

This can happen if the remote peer has advertized the smallest
MSS that linux TCP accepts : 48

An skb can hold 17 fragments, and each fragment can hold 32KB
on x86, or 64KB on PowerPC.

This means that the 16bit witdh of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs
can overflow.

Note that tcp_sendmsg() builds skbs with less than 64KB
of payload, so this problem needs SACK to be enabled.
SACK blocks allow TCP to coalesce multiple skbs in the retransmit
queue, thus filling the 17 fragments to maximal capacity.

CVE-2019-11477 -- u16 overflow of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs

a842fe1425 tcp: add optional per socket transmit delay
Adding delays to TCP flows is crucial for studying behavior
of TCP stacks, including congestion control modules.

Linux offers netem module, but it has unpractical constraints :
- Need root access to change qdisc
- Hard to setup on egress if combined with non trivial qdisc like FQ
- Single delay for all flows.

EDT (Earliest Departure Time) adoption in TCP stack allows us
to enable a per socket delay at a very small cost.

Networking tools can now establish thousands of flows, each of them
with a different delay, simulating real world conditions.

This requires FQ packet scheduler or a EDT-enabled NIC.

This patchs adds TCP_TX_DELAY socket option, to set a delay in
usec units.

  unsigned int tx_delay = 10000; /* 10 msec */

  setsockopt(fd, SOL_TCP, TCP_TX_DELAY, &tx_delay, sizeof(tx_delay));

Note that FQ packet scheduler limits might need some tweaking :

man tc-fq

PARAMETERS
   limit
       Hard  limit  on  the  real  queue  size. When this limit is
       reached, new packets are dropped. If the value is  lowered,
       packets  are  dropped so that the new limit is met. Default
       is 10000 packets.

   flow_limit
       Hard limit on the maximum  number  of  packets  queued  per
       flow.  Default value is 100.

Use of TCP_TX_DELAY option will increase number of skbs in FQ qdisc,
so packets would be dropped if any of the previous limit is hit.

Use of a jump label makes this support runtime-free, for hosts
never using the option.

Also note that TSQ (TCP Small Queues) limits are slightly changed
with this patch : we need to account that skbs artificially delayed
wont stop us providind more skbs to feed the pipe (netem uses
skb_orphan_partial() for this purpose, but FQ can not use this trick)

Because of that, using big delays might very well trigger
old bugs in TSO auto defer logic and/or sndbuf limited detection.

86de5921a3 tcp: defer SACK compression after DupThresh
Jean-Louis reported a TCP regression and bisected to recent SACK
compression.

After a loss episode (receiver not able to keep up and dropping
packets because its backlog is full), linux TCP stack is sending
a single SACK (DUPACK).

Sender waits a full RTO timer before recovering losses.

While RFC 6675 says in section 5, "Algorithm Details",

   (2) If DupAcks < DupThresh but IsLost (HighACK + 1) returns true --
       indicating at least three segments have arrived above the current
       cumulative acknowledgment point, which is taken to indicate loss
       -- go to step (4).
...
   (4) Invoke fast retransmit and enter loss recovery as follows:

there are old TCP stacks not implementing this strategy, and
still counting the dupacks before starting fast retransmit.

While these stacks probably perform poorly when receivers implement
LRO/GRO, we should be a little more gentle to them.

This patch makes sure we do not enable SACK compression unless
3 dupacks have been sent since last rcv_nxt update.

Ideally we should even rearm the timer to send one or two
more DUPACK if no more packets are coming, but that will
be work aiming for linux-4.21.

Many thanks to Jean-Louis for bisecting the issue, providing
packet captures and testing this patch.

5f6188a800 tcp: do not change tcp_wstamp_ns in tcp_mstamp_refresh
In EDT design, I made the mistake of using tcp_wstamp_ns
to store the last tcp_clock_ns() sample and to store the
pacing virtual timer.

This causes major regressions at high speed flows.

Introduce tcp_clock_cache to store last tcp_clock_ns().
This is needed because some arches have slow high-resolution
kernel time service.

tcp_wstamp_ns is only updated when a packet is sent.

Note that we can remove tcp_mstamp in the future since
tcp_mstamp is essentially tcp_clock_cache/1000, so the
apparent socket size increase is temporary.

cca9bab1b7 tcp: use monotonic timestamps for PAWS
Using get_seconds() for timestamps is deprecated since it can lead
to overflows on 32-bit systems. While the interface generally doesn't
overflow until year 2106, the specific implementation of the TCP PAWS
algorithm breaks in 2038 when the intermediate signed 32-bit timestamps
overflow.

A related problem is that the local timestamps in CLOCK_REALTIME form
lead to unexpected behavior when settimeofday is called to set the system
clock backwards or forwards by more than 24 days.

While the first problem could be solved by using an overflow-safe method
of comparing the timestamps, a nicer solution is to use a monotonic
clocksource with ktime_get_seconds() that simply doesn't overflow (at
least not until 136 years after boot) and that doesn't change during
settimeofday().

To make 32-bit and 64-bit architectures behave the same way here, and
also save a few bytes in the tcp_options_received structure, I'm changing
the type to a 32-bit integer, which is now safe on all architectures.

Finally, the ts_recent_stamp field also (confusingly) gets used to store
a jiffies value in tcp_synq_overflow()/tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow().
This is currently safe, but changing the type to 32-bit requires
some small changes there to keep it working.

This is because the rcv_rtt calculated by later received packets

(1) server sends last packet of reply with TS val V1
(2) client ACKs last packet of reply with TS ecr V1
(3) long idle time passes
(4) client sends next request data packet with TS ecr V1 (again!)
At this time, the rcv_rtt computed on server with TS ecr V1 will be
inflated with the idle time and should get ignored.

5d9f4262b7 tcp: add SACK compression
When TCP receives an out-of-order packet, it immediately sends
a SACK packet, generating network load but also forcing the
receiver to send 1-MSS pathological packets, increasing its
RTX queue length/depth, and thus processing time.

Wifi networks suffer from this aggressive behavior, but generally
speaking, all these SACK packets add fuel to the fire when networks
are under congestion.

This patch adds a high resolution timer and tp->compressed_ack counter.

Instead of sending a SACK, we program this timer with a small delay,
based on RTT and capped to 1 ms :

	delay = min ( 5 % of RTT, 1 ms)

If subsequent SACKs need to be sent while the timer has not yet
expired, we simply increment tp->compressed_ack.

When timer expires, a SACK is sent with the latest information.
Whenever an ACK is sent (if data is sent, or if in-order
data is received) timer is canceled.

Note that tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() is able to force a SACK to be sent
if the sack blocks need to be shuffled, even if the timer has not
expired.

A new SNMP counter is added in the following patch.

Two other patches add sysctls to allow changing the 1,000,000 and 44
values that this commit hard-coded.

b75eba76d3 tcp: send in-queue bytes in cmsg upon read
Applications with many concurrent connections, high variance
in receive queue length and tight memory bounds cannot
allocate worst-case buffer size to drain sockets. Knowing
the size of receive queue length, applications can optimize
how they allocate buffers to read from the socket.

The number of bytes pending on the socket is directly
available through ioctl(FIONREAD/SIOCINQ) and can be
approximated using getsockopt(MEMINFO) (rmem_alloc includes
skb overheads in addition to application data). But, both of
these options add an extra syscall per recvmsg. Moreover,
ioctl(FIONREAD/SIOCINQ) takes the socket lock.

Add the TCP_INQ socket option to TCP. When this socket
option is set, recvmsg() relays the number of bytes available
on the socket for reading to the application via the
TCP_CM_INQ control message.

Calculate the number of bytes after releasing the socket lock
to include the processed backlog, if any. To avoid an extra
branch in the hot path of recvmsg() for this new control
message, move all cmsg processing inside an existing branch for
processing receive timestamps. Since the socket lock is not held
when calculating the size of receive queue, TCP_INQ is a hint.
For example, it can overestimate the queue size by one byte,
if FIN is received.

With this method, applications can start reading from the socket
using a small buffer, and then use larger buffers based on the
remaining data when needed.

V3 change-log:
	As suggested by David Miller, added loads with barrier
	to check whether we have multiple threads calling recvmsg
	in parallel. When that happens we lock the socket to
	calculate inq.
V4 change-log:
	Removed inline from a static function.

e21db6f69a tcp: track total bytes delivered with ECN CE marks
Introduce a new delivered_ce stat in tcp socket to estimate
number of packets being marked with CE bits. The estimation is
done via ACKs with ECE bit. Depending on the actual receiver
behavior, the estimation could have biases.

Since the TCP sender can't really see the CE bit in the data path,
so the sender is technically counting packets marked delivered with
the "ECE / ECN-Echo" flag set.

With RFC3168 ECN, because the ECE bit is sticky, this count can
drastically overestimate the nummber of CE-marked data packets

With DCTCP-style ECN this should be reasonably precise unless there
is loss in the ACK path, in which case it's not precise.

With AccECN proposal this can be made still more precise, even in
the case some degree of ACK loss.

However this is sender's best estimate of CE information.

b13d880721 bpf: Adds field bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags to tcp_sock
Adds field bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags to tcp_sock and bpf_sock_ops. Its primary
use is to determine if there should be calls to sock_ops bpf program at
various points in the TCP code. The field is initialized to zero,
disabling the calls. A sock_ops BPF program can set it, per connection and
as necessary, when the connection is established.

It also adds support for reading and writting the field within a
sock_ops BPF program. Reading is done by accessing the field directly.
However, writing is done through the helper function
bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags_set, in order to return an error if a BPF program
is trying to set a callback that is not supported in the current kernel
(i.e. running an older kernel). The helper function returns 0 if it was
able to set all of the bits set in the argument, a positive number
containing the bits that could not be set, or -EINVAL if the socket is
not a full TCP socket.

Examples of where one could call the bpf program:

1) When RTO fires
2) When a packet is retransmitted
3) When the connection terminates
4) When a packet is sent
5) When a packet is received

d4761754b4 tcp: invalidate rate samples during SACK reneging
Mark tcp_sock during a SACK reneging event and invalidate rate samples
while marked. Such rate samples may overestimate bw by including packets
that were SACKed before reneging.

< ack 6001 win 10000 sack 7001:38001
< ack 7001 win 0 sack 8001:38001 // Reneg detected
> seq 7001:8001 // RTO, SACK cleared.
< ack 38001 win 10000

In above example the rate sample taken after the last ack will count
7001-38001 as delivered while the actual delivery rate likely could
be much lower i.e. 7001-8001.

This patch adds a new field tcp_sock.sack_reneg and marks it when we
declare SACK reneging and entering TCP_CA_Loss, and unmarks it after
the last rate sample was taken before moving back to TCP_CA_Open. This
patch also invalidates rate samples taken while tcp_sock.is_sack_reneg
is set.

737ff31456 tcp: use sequence distance to detect reordering
Replace the reordering distance measurement in packet unit with
sequence based approach. Previously it trackes the number of "packets"
toward the forward ACK (i.e.  highest sacked sequence)in a state
variable "fackets_out".

Precisely measuring reordering degree on packet distance has not much
benefit, as the degree constantly changes by factors like path, load,
and congestion window. It is also complicated and prone to arcane bugs.
This patch replaces with sequence-based approach that's much simpler.

1f2556916d tcp: higher throughput under reordering with adaptive RACK reordering wnd
Currently TCP RACK loss detection does not work well if packets are
being reordered beyond its static reordering window (min_rtt/4).Under
such reordering it may falsely trigger loss recoveries and reduce TCP
throughput significantly.

This patch improves that by increasing and reducing the reordering
window based on DSACK, which is now supported in major TCP implementations.
It makes RACK's reo_wnd adaptive based on DSACK and no. of recoveries.

- If DSACK is received, increment reo_wnd by min_rtt/4 (upper bounded
  by srtt), since there is possibility that spurious retransmission was
  due to reordering delay longer than reo_wnd.

- Persist the current reo_wnd value for TCP_RACK_RECOVERY_THRESH (16)
  no. of successful recoveries (accounts for full DSACK-based loss
  recovery undo). After that, reset it to default (min_rtt/4).

- At max, reo_wnd is incremented only once per rtt. So that the new
  DSACK on which we are reacting, is due to the spurious retx (approx)
  after the reo_wnd has been updated last time.

- reo_wnd is tracked in terms of steps (of min_rtt/4), rather than
  absolute value to account for change in rtt.

In our internal testing, we observed significant increase in throughput,
in scenarios where reordering exceeds min_rtt/4 (previous static value).

71c02379c7 tcp: Configure TFO without cookie per socket and/or per route
We already allow to enable TFO without a cookie by using the
fastopen-sysctl and setting it to TFO_SERVER_COOKIE_NOT_REQD (or
TFO_CLIENT_NO_COOKIE).
This is safe to do in certain environments where we know that there
isn't a malicous host (aka., data-centers) or when the
application-protocol already provides an authentication mechanism in the
first flight of data.

A server however might be providing multiple services or talking to both
sides (public Internet and data-center). So, this server would want to
enable cookie-less TFO for certain services and/or for connections that
go to the data-center.

This patch exposes a socket-option and a per-route attribute to enable such
fine-grained configurations.

e2080072ed tcp: new list for sent but unacked skbs for RACK recovery
This patch adds a new queue (list) that tracks the sent but not yet
acked or SACKed skbs for a TCP connection. The list is chronologically
ordered by skb->skb_mstamp (the head is the oldest sent skb).

This list will be used to optimize TCP Rack recovery, which checks
an skb's timestamp to judge if it has been lost and needs to be
retransmitted. Since TCP write queue is ordered by sequence instead
of sent time, RACK has to scan over the write queue to catch all
eligible packets to detect lost retransmission, and iterates through
SACKed skbs repeatedly.

Special cares for rare events:
1. TCP repair fakes skb transmission so the send queue needs adjusted
2. SACK reneging would require re-inserting SACKed skbs into the
   send queue. For now I believe it's not worth the complexity to
   make RACK work perfectly on SACK reneging, so we do nothing here.
3. Fast Open: currently for non-TFO, send-queue correctly queues
   the pure SYN packet. For TFO which queues a pure SYN and
   then a data packet, send-queue only queues the data packet but
   not the pure SYN due to the structure of TFO code. This is okay
   because the SYN receiver would never respond with a SACK on a
   missing SYN (i.e. SYN is never fast-retransmitted by SACK/RACK).

In order to not grow sk_buff, we use an union for the new list and
_skb_refdst/destructor fields. This is a bit complicated because
we need to make sure _skb_refdst and destructor are properly zeroed
before skb is cloned/copied at transmit, and before being freed.

31770e34e4 tcp: Revert "tcp: remove header prediction"
This reverts commit 45f119bf93.

Eric Dumazet says:
  We found at Google a significant regression caused by
  45f119bf93 tcp: remove header prediction

  In typical RPC  (TCP_RR), when a TCP socket receives data, we now call
  tcp_ack() while we used to not call it.

  This touches enough cache lines to cause a slowdown.

so problem does not seem to be HP removal itself but the tcp_ack()
call.  Therefore, it might be possible to remove HP after all, provided
one finds a way to elide tcp_ack for most cases.

e7942d0633 tcp: remove prequeue support
prequeue is a tcp receive optimization that moves part of rx processing
from bh to process context.

This only works if the socket being processed belongs to a process that
is blocked in recv on that socket.

In practice, this doesn't happen anymore that often because nowadays
servers tend to use an event driven (epoll) model.

Even normal client applications (web browsers) commonly use many tcp
connections in parallel.

This has measureable impact only in netperf (which uses plain recv and
thus allows prequeue use) from host to locally running vm (~4%), however,
there were no changes when using netperf between two physical hosts with
ixgbe interfaces.

9a568de481 tcp: switch TCP TS option (RFC 7323) to 1ms clock
TCP Timestamps option is defined in RFC 7323

Traditionally on linux, it has been tied to the internal
'jiffies' variable, because it had been a cheap and good enough
generator.

For TCP flows on the Internet, 1 ms resolution would be much better
than 4ms or 10ms (HZ=250 or HZ=100 respectively)

For TCP flows in the DC, Google has used usec resolution for more
than two years with great success [1]

Receive size autotuning (DRS) is indeed more precise and converges
faster to optimal window size.

This patch converts tp->tcp_mstamp to a plain u64 value storing
a 1 usec TCP clock.

This choice will allow us to upstream the 1 usec TS option as
discussed in IETF 97.

218af599fa tcp: internal implementation for pacing
BBR congestion control depends on pacing, and pacing is
currently handled by sch_fq packet scheduler for performance reasons,
and also because implemening pacing with FQ was convenient to truly
avoid bursts.

However there are many cases where this packet scheduler constraint
is not practical.
- Many linux hosts are not focusing on handling thousands of TCP
  flows in the most efficient way.
- Some routers use fq_codel or other AQM, but still would like
  to use BBR for the few TCP flows they initiate/terminate.

This patch implements an automatic fallback to internal pacing.

Pacing is requested either by BBR or use of SO_MAX_PACING_RATE option.

If sch_fq happens to be in the egress path, pacing is delegated to
the qdisc, otherwise pacing is done by TCP itself.

One advantage of pacing from TCP stack is to get more precise rtt
estimations, and less work done from TX completion, since TCP Small
queue limits are not generally hit. Setups with single TX queue but
many cpus might even benefit from this.

Note that unlike sch_fq, we do not take into account header sizes.
Taking care of these headers would add additional complexity for
no practical differences in behavior.

Some performance numbers using 800 TCP_STREAM flows rate limited to
~48 Mbit per second on 40Gbit NIC.

If MQ+pfifo_fast is used on the NIC :

645f4c6f2e tcp: switch rcv_rtt_est and rcvq_space to high resolution timestamps
Some devices or distributions use HZ=100 or HZ=250

TCP receive buffer autotuning has poor behavior caused by this choice.
Since autotuning happens after 4 ms or 10 ms, short distance flows
get their receive buffer tuned to a very high value, but after an initial
period where it was frozen to (too small) initial value.

With tp->tcp_mstamp introduction, we can switch to high resolution
timestamps almost for free (at the expense of 8 additional bytes per
TCP structure)

Note that some TCP stacks use usec TCP timestamps where this
patch makes even more sense : Many TCP flows have < 500 usec RTT.
Hopefully this finer TS option can be standardized soon.

Tested:
 HZ=100 kernel
 ./netperf -H lpaa24 -t TCP_RR -l 1000 -- -r 10000,10000 &

 Peer without patch :
 lpaa24:~# ss -tmi dst lpaa23

cf1ef3f071 net/tcp_fastopen: Disable active side TFO in certain scenarios
Middlebox firewall issues can potentially cause server's data being
blackholed after a successful 3WHS using TFO. Following are the related
reports from Apple:
https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/Paasch_Network_Support.pdf
Slide 31 identifies an issue where the client ACK to the server's data
sent during a TFO'd handshake is dropped.
C ---> syn-data ---> S
C <--- syn/ack ----- S
C (accept & write)
C <---- data ------- S
C ----- ACK -> X     S
		[retry and timeout]

https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/94/slides/slides-94-tcpm-13.pdf
Slide 5 shows a similar situation that the server's data gets dropped
after 3WHS.
C ---- syn-data ---> S
C <--- syn/ack ----- S
C ---- ack --------> S
S (accept & write)
C?  X <- data ------ S
		[retry and timeout]

This is the worst failure b/c the client can not detect such behavior to
mitigate the situation (such as disabling TFO). Failing to proceed, the
application (e.g., SSL library) may simply timeout and retry with TFO
again, and the process repeats indefinitely.

The proposed solution is to disable active TFO globally under the
following circumstances:
1. client side TFO socket detects out of order FIN
2. client side TFO socket receives out of order RST

We disable active side TFO globally for 1hr at first. Then if it
happens again, we disable it for 2h, then 4h, 8h, ...
And we reset the timeout to 1hr if a client side TFO sockets not opened
on loopback has successfully received data segs from server.
And we examine this condition during close().

The rational behind it is that when such firewall issue happens,
application running on the client should eventually close the socket as
it is not able to get the data it is expecting. Or application running
on the server should close the socket as it is not able to receive any
response from client.
In both cases, out of order FIN or RST will get received on the client
given that the firewall will not block them as no data are in those
frames.
And we want to disable active TFO globally as it helps if the middle box
is very close to the client and most of the connections are likely to
fail.

Also, add a debug sysctl:
  tcp_fastopen_blackhole_detect_timeout_sec:
    the initial timeout to use when firewall blackhole issue happens.
    This can be set and read.
    When setting it to 0, it means to disable the active disable logic.

19f6d3f3c8 net/tcp-fastopen: Add new API support
This patch adds a new socket option, TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT, as an
alternative way to perform Fast Open on the active side (client). Prior
to this patch, a client needs to replace the connect() call with
sendto(MSG_FASTOPEN). This can be cumbersome for applications who want
to use Fast Open: these socket operations are often done in lower layer
libraries used by many other applications. Changing these libraries
and/or the socket call sequences are not trivial. A more convenient
approach is to perform Fast Open by simply enabling a socket option when
the socket is created w/o changing other socket calls sequence:
  s = socket()
    create a new socket

    With cookie present, return 0 immediately.
    With no cookie, initiate 3WHS with TFO cookie-request option and
    return -1 with errno = EINPROGRESS.

  write()/sendmsg()
    With cookie present, send out SYN with data and return the number of
    bytes buffered.
    With no cookie, and 3WHS not yet completed, return -1 with errno =
    EINPROGRESS.
    No MSG_FASTOPEN flag is needed.

  read()
    Return -1 with errno = EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN if connect() is called but
    write() is not called yet.
    Return -1 with errno = EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN if connection is
    established but no msg is received yet.
    Return number of bytes read if socket is established and there is
    msg received.

The new API simplifies life for applications that always perform a write()
immediately after a successful connect(). Such applications can now take
advantage of Fast Open by merely making one new setsockopt() call at the time
of creating the socket. Nothing else about the application's socket call
sequence needs to change.

4a7f600944 tcp: remove thin_dupack feature
Thin stream DUPACK is to start fast recovery on only one DUPACK
provided the connection is a thin stream (i.e., low inflight).  But
this older feature is now subsumed with RACK. If a connection
receives only a single DUPACK, RACK would arm a reordering timer
and soon starts fast recovery instead of timeout if no further
ACKs are received.

The socket option (THIN_DUPACK) is kept as a nop for compatibility.
Note that this patch does not change another thin-stream feature
which enables linear RTO. Although it might be good to generalize
that in the future (i.e., linear RTO for the first say 3 retries).

bec41a11dd tcp: remove early retransmit
This patch removes the support of RFC5827 early retransmit (i.e.,
fast recovery on small inflight with <3 dupacks) because it is
subsumed by the new RACK loss detection. More specifically when
RACK receives DUPACKs, it'll arm a reordering timer to start fast
recovery after a quarter of (min)RTT, hence it covers the early
retransmit except RACK does not limit itself to specific inflight
or dupack numbers.

840a3cbe89 tcp: remove forward retransmit feature
Forward retransmit is an esoteric feature in RFC3517 (condition(3)
in the NextSeg()). Basically if a packet is not considered lost by
the current criteria (# of dupacks etc), but the congestion window
has room for more packets, then retransmit this packet.

However it actually conflicts with the rest of recovery design. For
example, when reordering is detected we want to be conservative
in retransmitting packets but forward-retransmit feature would
break that to force more retransmission. Also the implementation is
fairly complicated inside the retransmission logic inducing extra
iterations in the write queue. With RACK losses are being detected
timely and this heuristic is no longer necessary. There this patch
removes the feature.

1d0833df59 tcp: use sequence to break TS ties for RACK loss detection
The packets inside a jumbo skb (e.g., TSO) share the same skb
timestamp, even though they are sent sequentially on the wire. Since
RACK is based on time, it can not detect some packets inside the
same skb are lost.  However, we can leverage the packet sequence
numbers as extended timestamps to detect losses. Therefore, when
RACK timestamp is identical to skb's timestamp (i.e., one of the
packets of the skb is acked or sacked), we use the sequence numbers
of the acked and unacked packets to break ties.

We can use the same sequence logic to advance RACK xmit time as
well to detect more losses and avoid timeout.

deed7be78f tcp: record most recent RTT in RACK loss detection
Record the most recent RTT in RACK. It is often identical to the
"ca_rtt_us" values in tcp_clean_rtx_queue. But when the packet has
been retransmitted, RACK choses to believe the ACK is for the
(latest) retransmitted packet if the RTT is over minimum RTT.

This requires passing the arrival time of the most recent ACK to
RACK routines. The timestamp is now recorded in the "ack_time"
in tcp_sacktag_state during the ACK processing.

This patch does not change the RACK algorithm itself. It only adds
the RTT variable to prepare the next main patch.

95a22caee3 tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets for each connection
jiffies based timestamps allow for easy inference of number of devices
behind NAT translators and also makes tracking of hosts simpler.

commit ceaa1fef65 ("tcp: adding a per-socket timestamp offset")
added the main infrastructure that is needed for per-connection ts
randomization, in particular writing/reading the on-wire tcp header
format takes the offset into account so rest of stack can use normal
tcp_time_stamp (jiffies).

So only two items are left:
 - add a tsoffset for request sockets
 - extend the tcp isn generator to also return another 32bit number
   in addition to the ISN.

Re-use of ISN generator also means timestamps are still monotonically
increasing for same connection quadruple, i.e. PAWS will still work.

Includes fixes from Eric Dumazet.

1c885808e4 tcp: SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS option for SO_TIMESTAMPING
This patch exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket
SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently we can instrument how long a
particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having
these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with
these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender
limitation.  For example, a video server can tell if a particular
chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because
TCP was experiencing small receive window. It is not possible to
tell before this patch without packet traces.

To prepare these stats, the user needs to set
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY flags
while requesting other SOF_TIMESTAMPING TX timestamps. When the
timestamps are available in the error queue, the stats are returned
in a separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS,
in a list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types: TCP_NLA_BUSY_TIME,
TCP_NLA_RWND_LIMITED, TCP_NLA_SNDBUF_LIMITED. Unit is microsecond.
