tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - header & support functions
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.
