    tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - header & support functions · 10467163
    Jerry Chu 提交于
    This patch adds all the necessary data structure and support
    functions to implement TFO server side. It also documents a number
    of flags for the sysctl_tcp_fastopen knob, and adds a few Linux
    extension MIBs.
    
    In addition, it includes the following:
    
    1. a new TCP_FASTOPEN socket option an application must call to
    supply a max backlog allowed in order to enable TFO on its listener.
    
    2. A number of key data structures:
    "fastopen_rsk" in tcp_sock - for a big socket to access its
    request_sock for retransmission and ack processing purpose. It is
    non-NULL iff 3WHS not completed.
    
    "fastopenq" in request_sock_queue - points to a per Fast Open
    listener data structure "fastopen_queue" to keep track of qlen (# of
    outstanding Fast Open requests) and max_qlen, among other things.
    
    "listener" in tcp_request_sock - to point to the original listener
    for book-keeping purpose, i.e., to maintain qlen against max_qlen
    as part of defense against IP spoofing attack.
    
    3. various data structure and functions, many in tcp_fastopen.c, to
    support server side Fast Open cookie operations, including
    /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen_key to allow manual rekeying.
