AccECN option may fail in various way, handle these:
- Attempt to negotiate the use of AccECN on the 1st retransmitted SYN
- From the 2nd retransmitted SYN, stop AccECN negotiation
- Remove option from SYN/ACK rexmits to handle blackholes
- If no option arrives in SYN/ACK, assume Option is not usable
- If an option arrives later, re-enabled
- If option is zeroed, disable AccECN option processing
This patch use existing padding bits in tcp_request_sock and
holes in tcp_sock without increasing the size.

Instead of sending the option in every ACK, limit sending to
those ACKs where the option is necessary:
- Handshake
- "Change-triggered ACK" + the ACK following it. The
2nd ACK is necessary to unambiguously indicate which
of the ECN byte counters in increasing. The first
ACK has two counters increasing due to the ecnfield
edge.
- ACKs with CE to allow CEP delta validations to take
advantage of the option.
- Force option to be sent every at least once per 2^22
bytes. The check is done using the bit edges of the
byte counters (avoids need for extra variables).
- AccECN option beacon to send a few times per RTT even if
nothing in the ECN state requires that. The default is 3
times per RTT, and its period can be set via
sysctl_tcp_ecn_option_beacon.

The Accurate ECN allows echoing back the sum of bytes for
each IP ECN field value in the received packets using
AccECN option. This change implements AccECN option tx & rx
side processing without option send control related features
that are added by a later change.
Based on specification:
https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt
(Some features of the spec will be added in the later changes
rather than in this one).
A full-length AccECN option is always attempted but if it does
not fit, the minimum length is selected based on the counters
that have changed since the last update. The AccECN option
(with 24-bit fields) often ends in odd sizes so the option
write code tries to take advantage of some nop used to pad
the other TCP options.
The delivered_ecn_bytes pairs with received_ecn_bytes similar
to how delivered_ce pairs with received_ce. In contrast to
ACE field, however, the option is not always available to update
delivered_ecn_bytes. For ACK w/o AccECN option, the delivered
bytes calculated based on the cumulative ACK+SACK information
are assigned to one of the counters using an estimation
heuristic to select the most likely ECN byte counter. Any
estimation error is corrected when the next AccECN option
arrives. It may occur that the heuristic gets too confused
when there are enough different byte counter deltas between
ACKs with the AccECN option in which case the heuristic just
gives up on updating the counters for a while.
tcp_ecn_option sysctl can be used to select option sending
mode for AccECN: TCP_ECN_OPTION_DISABLED, TCP_ECN_OPTION_MINIMUM,
and TCP_ECN_OPTION_FULL.
This patch increases the size of tcp_info struct, as there is
no existing holes for new u32 variables. Below are the pahole
outcomes before and after this patch:
[BEFORE THIS PATCH]
struct tcp_info {
[...]
__u32 tcpi_total_rto_time; /* 244 4 */
/* size: 248, cachelines: 4, members: 61 */

/* size: 280, cachelines: 5, members: 68 */
}

group for new u8 members, but adds a 4-byte hole in tcp_sock_write_rx
group after the new u32 delivered_ecn_bytes[3] member. Therefore, the
group size of tcp_sock_write_rx is increased from 96 to 112. Below

These three byte counters track IP ECN field payload byte sums for
all arriving (acceptable) packets for ECT0, ECT1, and CE. The
AccECN option (added by a later patch in the series) echoes these
counters back to sender side; therefore, it is placed within the
group of tcp_sock_write_txrx.
Below are the pahole outcomes before and after this patch, in which
the group size of tcp_sock_write_txrx is increased from 95 + 4 to
107 + 4 and an extra 4-byte hole is created but will be exploited
in later patches:

Accurate ECN negotiation parts based on the specification:
https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt
Accurate ECN is negotiated using ECE, CWR and AE flags in the
TCP header. TCP falls back into using RFC3168 ECN if one of the
ends supports only RFC3168-style ECN.
The AccECN negotiation includes reflecting IP ECN field value
seen in SYN and SYNACK back using the same bits as negotiation
to allow responding to SYN CE marks and to detect ECN field
mangling. CE marks should not occur currently because SYN=1
segments are sent with Non-ECT in IP ECN field (but proposal
exists to remove this restriction).
Reflecting SYN IP ECN field in SYNACK is relatively simple.
Reflecting SYNACK IP ECN field in the final/third ACK of
the handshake is more challenging. Linux TCP code is not well
prepared for using the final/third ACK a signalling channel
which makes things somewhat complicated here.
tcp_ecn sysctl can be used to select the highest ECN variant
(Accurate ECN, ECN, No ECN) that is attemped to be negotiated and
requested for incoming connection and outgoing connection:
TCP_ECN_IN_NOECN_OUT_NOECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ECN_OUT_ECN,
TCP_ECN_IN_ECN_OUT_NOECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_ACCECN,
TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_ECN, and TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_NOECN.
After this patch, the size of tcp_request_sock remains unchanged
and no new holes are added. Below are the pahole outcomes before
and after this patch:

This change implements Accurate ECN without negotiation and
AccECN Option (that will be added by later changes). Based on
AccECN specifications:
https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt
Accurate ECN allows feeding back the number of CE (congestion
experienced) marks accurately to the sender in contrast to
RFC3168 ECN that can only signal one marks-seen-yes/no per RTT.
Congestion control algorithms can take advantage of the accurate
ECN information to fine-tune their congestion response to avoid
drastic rate reduction when only mild congestion is encountered.
With Accurate ECN, tp->received_ce (r.cep in AccECN spec) keeps
track of how many segments have arrived with a CE mark. Accurate
ECN uses ACE field (ECE, CWR, AE) to communicate the value back
to the sender which updates tp->delivered_ce (s.cep) based on the
feedback. This signalling channel is lossy when ACE field overflow
occurs.
Conservative strategy is selected here to deal with the ACE
overflow, however, some strategies using the AccECN option later
in the overall patchset mitigate against false overflows detected.
The ACE field values on the wire are offset by
TCP_ACCECN_CEP_INIT_OFFSET. Delivered_ce/received_ce count the
real CE marks rather than forcing all downstream users to adapt
to the wire offset.
This patch uses the first 1-byte hole and the last 4-byte hole of
the tcp_sock_write_txrx for 'received_ce_pending' and 'received_ce'.
Also, the group size of tcp_sock_write_txrx is increased from
91 + 4 to 95 + 4 due to the new u32 received_ce member. Below are
the trimmed pahole outcomes before and after this patch.

This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6. This is based on a patch
by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>. His original description is:
This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks
restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from
"dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction.
This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used
to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO
over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the
TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6
will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO.
In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get
cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't
get TSO packets created by TCP layer.
SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet.
SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature.
UFO is supported over IPv6 also
The following table shows there is significant improvement in
throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo.

turned on together in a TCP connection. The problem is that most
hardware that supports TSO does not handle CWR correctly if it is set
in the TSO packet. Correct handling requires CWR to be set in the
first packet only if it is set in the TSO header.
This patch adds the ability to turn on NETIF_F_TSO and ECN using
GSO if necessary to handle TSO packets with CWR set. Hardware
that handles CWR correctly can turn on NETIF_F_TSO_ECN in the dev->
features flag.
All TSO packets with CWR set will have the SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN set. If
the output device does not have the NETIF_F_TSO_ECN feature set, GSO
will split the packet up correctly with CWR only set in the first
segment.
With help from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>.
Since ECN can always be enabled with TSO, the SOCK_NO_LARGESEND sock
flag is completely removed.

This creates struct inet_connection_sock, moving members out of struct
tcp_sock that are shareable with other INET connection oriented
protocols, such as DCCP, that in my private tree already uses most of
these members.
The functions that operate on these members were renamed, using a
inet_csk_ prefix while not being moved yet to a new file, so as to
ease the review of these changes.

Ok, this one just renames some stuff to have a better namespace and to
dissassociate it from TCP:
struct open_request -> struct request_sock
tcp_openreq_alloc -> reqsk_alloc
tcp_openreq_free -> reqsk_free
tcp_openreq_fastfree -> __reqsk_free
With this most of the infrastructure closely resembles a struct
sock methods subset.

Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to
ease peer review.
Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn
has two new members:
->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep
->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for
a specific protocol
The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a
class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection
oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones
in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an
open_request.
I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class
hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the
open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an
or_calltable.
Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per
open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-)
Next changeset will rename some of the structs, fields and functions
mentioned above, struct or_calltable is way unclear, better name it
struct request_sock_ops, s/struct open_request/struct request_sock/g,
etc.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
