During unicast link transmission, it's observed very often that because
of one or a few lost/dis-ordered packets, the sending side will fastly
reach the send window limit and must wait for the packets to be arrived
at the receiving side or in the worst case, a retransmission must be
done first. The sending side cannot release a lot of subsequent packets
in its transmq even though all of them might have already been received
by the receiving side.
That is, one or two packets dis-ordered/lost and dozens of packets have
to wait, this obviously reduces the overall throughput!
This commit introduces an algorithm to overcome this by using "Gap ACK
blocks". Basically, a Gap ACK block will consist of <ack, gap> numbers
that describes the link deferdq where packets have been got by the
receiving side but with gaps, for example:
link deferdq: [1 2 3 4 10 11 13 14 15 20]
--> Gap ACK blocks: <4, 5>, <11, 1>, <15, 4>, <20, 0>
The Gap ACK blocks will be sent to the sending side along with the
traditional ACK or NACK message. Immediately when receiving the message
the sending side will now not only release from its transmq the packets
ack-ed by the ACK but also by the Gap ACK blocks! So, more packets can
be enqueued and transmitted.
In addition, the sending side can now do "multi-retransmissions"
according to the Gaps reported in the Gap ACK blocks.
The new algorithm as verified helps greatly improve the TIPC throughput
especially under packet loss condition.
So far, a maximum of 32 blocks is quite enough without any "Too few Gap
ACK blocks" reports with a 5.0% packet loss rate, however this number
can be increased in the furture if needed.
Also, the patch is backward compatible.

Linux currently disable ECN for incoming connections when the SYN
requests ECN and the IP header has ECT(0)/ECT(1) set, as some
networks were reportedly mangling the ToS byte, hence could later
trigger false congestion notifications.
RFC8311 §4.3 relaxes RFC3168's requirements such that ECT can be set
one TCP control packets (including SYNs). The main benefit of this
is the decreased probability of losing a SYN in a congested
ECN-capable network (i.e., it avoids the initial 1s timeout).
Additionally, this allows the development of newer TCP extensions,
such as AccECN.
This patch relaxes the previous check, by enabling ECN on incoming
connections using SYN+ECT if at least one bit of the reserved flags
of the TCP header is set. Such bit would indicate that the sender of
the SYN is using a newer TCP feature than what the host implements,
such as AccECN, and is thus implementing RFC8311. This enables
end-hosts not supporting such extensions to still negociate ECN, and
to have some of the benefits of using ECN on control packets.

net: More movement to fib_nh_common
Second set of three with the end goal of enabling IPv6 gateways with IPv4
routes.
This set moves:
- the ipv4 tracepoint to take a fib_nh_common and updates it to handle
a v6 gateway.
- consolidates route notifications to use the same fill functions
for both ipv4 and ipv6
v4
- enhanced the commit message for patches 1 and 2
v3
- comments from Martin:
+ renamed FIB_RES_NH to FIB_RES_NHC
+ removed family check from fib_result_prefsrc
+ in fib_nexthop_info, renamed nexthop arg to nhc and dropped for_ipv4 arg
v2
- dropped patches moving cached routes and exception buckets to
fib_nh_common. The goal is allowing a fib6_nh to be used with an
IPv4 route. The hold up is the need for separate exception buckets -
one for v6 routes and one for v4 routes. When all of the nexthop patches
are in, adding a secondi exception bucket pushes IPv6 fib6_info
allocations over 256 which means fib6_info allocations roll up to 512.
Hence, deferring the patches until some data mining can be done to keep
the allocations at 256.

Similar to ipv6, move addition of nexthop attributes to dump
message into helpers that are called for both single path and
multipath routes. Align the new helpers to the IPv6 variant
which most notably means computing the flags argument based on
settings in nh_flags.
The RTA_FLOW argument is unique to IPv4, so it is appended after
the new fib_nexthop_info helper. The intent of a later patch is to
make both fib_nexthop_info and fib_add_nexthop usable for both IPv4
and IPv6. This patch is stepping stone in that direction.

Most of the ipv4 code only needs data from fib_nh_common. Add
fib_nh_common selection to fib_result and update users to use it.
Right now, fib_nh_common in fib_result will point to a fib_nh struct
that is embedded within a fib_info:
fib_info --> fib_nh
fib_nh
...
fib_nh
^
fib_result->nhc ----+
Later, nhc can point to a fib_nh within a nexthop struct:
fib_info --> nexthop --> fib_nh
^
fib_result->nhc ---------------+
or for a nexthop group:
fib_info --> nexthop --> nexthop --> fib_nh
nexthop --> fib_nh
...
nexthop --> fib_nh
^
fib_result->nhc ---------------------------+
In all cases nhsel within fib_result will point to which leg in the
multipath route is used.
