    net-tcp: Fast Open client - detecting SYN-data drops · aab48743
    Yuchung Cheng 提交于
    On paths with firewalls dropping SYN with data or experimental TCP options,
    Fast Open connections will have experience SYN timeout and bad performance.
    The solution is to track such incidents in the cookie cache and disables
    Fast Open temporarily.
    
    Since only the original SYN includes data and/or Fast Open option, the
    SYN-ACK has some tell-tale sign (tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack()) to detect
    such drops. If a path has recurring Fast Open SYN drops, Fast Open is
    disabled for 2^(recurring_losses) minutes starting from four minutes up to
    roughly one and half day. sendmsg with MSG_FASTOPEN flag will succeed but
    it behaves as connect() then write().
