ICMP messages generated in output path if frame length is bigger than
mtu are actually lost because socket is owned by user (doing the xmit)

One example is the ipgre_tunnel_xmit() calling
icmp_send(skb, ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED, htonl(mtu));

We had a similar case fixed in commit a34a101e1e6 (ipv6: disable GSO on
sockets hitting dst_allfrag).

Problem of such fix is that it relied on retransmit timers, so short tcp
sessions paid a too big latency increase price.

This patch uses the tcp_release_cb() infrastructure so that MTU
reduction messages (ICMP messages) are not lost, and no extra delay
is added in TCP transmits.

<title>tcp: improve latencies of timer triggered events</title>

Modern TCP stack highly depends on tcp_write_timer() having a small
latency, but current implementation doesn't exactly meet the
expectations.

When a timer fires but finds the socket is owned by the user, it rearms
itself for an additional delay hoping next run will be more
successful.

tcp_write_timer() for example uses a 50ms delay for next try, and it
defeats many attempts to get predictable TCP behavior in term of
latencies.

Use the recently introduced tcp_release_cb(), so that the user owning
the socket will call various handlers right before socket release.

This will permit us to post a followup patch to address the
tcp_tso_should_defer() syndrome (some deferred packets have to wait
RTO timer to be transmitted, while cwnd should allow us to send them
sooner)

In trusted networks, e.g., intranet, data-center, the client does not
need to use Fast Open cookie to mitigate DoS attacks. In cookie-less
mode, sendmsg() with MSG_FASTOPEN flag will send SYN-data regardless
of cookie availability.

This patch implements sending SYN-data in tcp_connect(). The data is
from tcp_sendmsg() with flag MSG_FASTOPEN (implemented in a later patch).

The length of the cookie in tcp_fastopen_req, init'd to 0, controls the
type of the SYN. If the cookie is not cached (len==0), the host sends
data-less SYN with Fast Open cookie request option to solicit a cookie
from the remote. If cookie is not available (len &gt; 0), the host sends
a SYN-data with Fast Open cookie option. If cookie length is negative,
  the SYN will not include any Fast Open option (for fall back operations).

To deal with middleboxes that may drop SYN with data or experimental TCP
option, the SYN-data is only sent once. SYN retransmits do not include
data or Fast Open options. The connection will fall back to regular TCP
handshake.

This patch impelements the common code for both the client and server.

1. TCP Fast Open option processing. Since Fast Open does not have an
   option number assigned by IANA yet, it shares the experiment option
   code 254 by implementing draft-ietf-tcpm-experimental-options
   with a 16 bits magic number 0xF989. This enables global experiments
   without clashing the scarce(2) experimental options available for TCP.

   When the draft status becomes standard (maybe), the client should
   switch to the new option number assigned while the server supports
   both numbers for transistion.

2. The new sysctl tcp_fastopen

3. A place holder init function

<title>tcp: TCP Small Queues</title>

<content type='text'>
This introduce TSQ (TCP Small Queues)

TSQ goal is to reduce number of TCP packets in xmit queues (qdisc &amp;
device queues), to reduce RTT and cwnd bias, part of the bufferbloat
problem.

sk-&gt;sk_wmem_alloc not allowed to grow above a given limit,
allowing no more than ~128KB [1] per tcp socket in qdisc/dev layers at a
given time.

TSO packets are sized/capped to half the limit, so that we have two
TSO packets in flight, allowing better bandwidth use.

As a side effect, setting the limit to 40000 automatically reduces the
standard gso max limit (65536) to 40000/2 : It can help to reduce
latencies of high prio packets, having smaller TSO packets.

This means we divert sock_wfree() to a tcp_wfree() handler, to
queue/send following frames when skb_orphan() [2] is called for the
already queued skbs.

Results on my dev machines (tg3/ixgbe nics) are really impressive,
using standard pfifo_fast, and with or without TSO/GSO.

Without reduction of nominal bandwidth, we have reduction of buffering
per bulk sender :
&lt; 1ms on Gbit (instead of 50ms with TSO)
&lt; 8ms on 100Mbit (instead of 132 ms)

I no longer have 4 MBytes backlogged in qdisc by a single netperf
session, and both side socket autotuning no longer use 4 Mbytes.

As skb destructor cannot restart xmit itself ( as qdisc lock might be
taken at this point ), we delegate the work to a tasklet. We use one
tasklest per cpu for performance reasons.

If tasklet finds a socket owned by the user, it sets TSQ_OWNED flag.
This flag is tested in a new protocol method called from release_sock(),
to eventually send new segments.

[1] New /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes tunable
[2] skb_orphan() is usually called at TX completion time,
  but some drivers call it in their start_xmit() handler.
  These drivers should at least use BQL, or else a single TCP
  session can still fill the whole NIC TX ring, since TSQ will
  have no effect.

<content type='text'>
I originally sent this patch to &lt;trivial@kernel.org&gt;, but Jiri Kosina did
not feel that this is fully appropriate for the trivial tree.

Using linux/tcp.h from C++ results in:

cat t.cc
#include &lt;linux/tcp.h&gt;
int main() { }

g++ -c t.cc

In file included from t.cc:1:
/usr/include/linux/tcp.h:72: error: '__u32 __fswab32(__u32)' cannot appear in a constant-expression
/usr/include/linux/tcp.h:72: error: a function call cannot appear in a constant-expression
...

Attached trivial patch fixes this problem.

Tested:
- the t.cc above compiles with g++ and
- the following program generates the same output before/after
  the patch:

#include &lt;linux/tcp.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;

int main ()
{
#define P(a) printf("%s: %08x\n", #a, (int)a)
 P(TCP_FLAG_CWR);
 P(TCP_FLAG_ECE);
 P(TCP_FLAG_URG);
 P(TCP_FLAG_ACK);
 P(TCP_FLAG_PSH);
 P(TCP_FLAG_RST);
 P(TCP_FLAG_SYN);
 P(TCP_FLAG_FIN);

Since it's guarenteed that we will access the inetpeer if we're trying
to do timewait recycling and TCP options were enabled on the
connection, just cache the peer in the timewait socket.

In the future, inetpeer lookups will be context dependent (per routing
realm), and this helps facilitate that as well.
