[ Upstream commit f4ce91ce12a7c6ead19b128ffa8cff6e3ded2a14 ]

This commit fixes a bug in the tracking of max_packets_out and
is_cwnd_limited. This bug can cause the connection to fail to remember
that is_cwnd_limited is true, causing the connection to fail to grow
cwnd when it should, causing throughput to be lower than it should be.

The following event sequence is an example that triggers the bug:

 (a) The connection is cwnd_limited, but packets_out is not at its
     peak due to TSO deferral deciding not to send another skb yet.
     In such cases the connection can advance max_packets_seq and set
     tp-&gt;is_cwnd_limited to true and max_packets_out to a small
     number.

(b) Then later in the round trip the connection is pacing-limited (not
     cwnd-limited), and packets_out is larger. In such cases the
     connection would raise max_packets_out to a bigger number but
     (unexpectedly) flip tp-&gt;is_cwnd_limited from true to false.

This commit fixes that bug.

One straightforward fix would be to separately track (a) the next
window after max_packets_out reaches a maximum, and (b) the next
window after tp-&gt;is_cwnd_limited is set to true. But this would
require consuming an extra u32 sequence number.

Instead, to save space we track only the most important
information. Specifically, we track the strongest available signal of
the degree to which the cwnd is fully utilized:

(1) If the connection is cwnd-limited then we remember that fact for
the current window.

(2) If the connection not cwnd-limited then we track the maximum
number of outstanding packets in the current window.

In particular, note that the new logic cannot trigger the buggy
(a)/(b) sequence above because with the new logic a condition where
tp-&gt;packets_out &gt; tp-&gt;max_packets_out can only trigger an update of
tp-&gt;is_cwnd_limited if tp-&gt;is_cwnd_limited is false.

This first showed up in a testing of a BBRv2 dev branch, but this
buggy behavior highlighted a general issue with the
tcp_cwnd_validate() logic that can cause cwnd to fail to increase at
the proper rate for any TCP congestion control, including Reno or
CUBIC.

Most drivers use "skb_transport_offset(skb) + tcp_hdrlen(skb)"
to compute headers length for a TCP packet, but others
use more convoluted (but equivalent) ways.

Add skb_tcp_all_headers() and skb_inner_tcp_all_headers()
helpers to harmonize this a bit.

<title>net/smc: Limit SMC visits when handshake workqueue congested</title>

This patch intends to provide a mechanism to put constraint on SMC
connections visit according to the pressure of SMC handshake process.
At present, frequent visits will cause the incoming connections to be
backlogged in SMC handshake queue, raise the connections established
time. Which is quite unacceptable for those applications who base on
short lived connections.

There are two ways to implement this mechanism:

1. Put limitation after TCP established.
2. Put limitation before TCP established.

In the first way, we need to wait and receive CLC messages that the
client will potentially send, and then actively reply with a decline
message, in a sense, which is also a sort of SMC handshake, affect the
connections established time on its way.

In the second way, the only problem is that we need to inject SMC logic
into TCP when it is about to reply the incoming SYN, since we already do
that, it's seems not a problem anymore. And advantage is obvious, few
additional processes are required to complete the constraint.

This patch use the second way. After this patch, connections who beyond
constraint will not informed any SMC indication, and SMC will not be
involved in any of its subsequent processes.

This patch adds TCP_NLA_TTL to SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS that exports
the time-to-live or hop limit of the latest incoming packet with
SCM_TSTAMP_ACK. The value exported may not be from the packet that acks
the sequence when incoming packets are aggregated. Exporting the
time-to-live or hop limit value of incoming packets helps to estimate
the hop count of the path of the flow that may change over time.

A new field is added to the request sock to record the TOS value
received on the listening socket during 3WHS:
When not under syn flood, it is recording the TOS value sent in SYN.
When under syn flood, it is recording the TOS value sent in the ACK.
This is a preparation patch in order to do TOS reflection in the later

<title>tcp: bpf: Optionally store mac header in TCP_SAVE_SYN</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch is adapted from Eric's patch in an earlier discussion [1].

The TCP_SAVE_SYN currently only stores the network header and
tcp header.  This patch allows it to optionally store
the mac header also if the setsockopt's optval is 2.

It requires one more bit for the "save_syn" bit field in tcp_sock.
This patch achieves this by moving the syn_smc bit next to the is_mptcp.
The syn_smc is currently used with the TCP experimental option.  Since
syn_smc is only used when CONFIG_SMC is enabled, this patch also puts
the "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SMC)" around it like the is_mptcp did
with "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MPTCP)".

The mac_hdrlen is also stored in the "struct saved_syn"
to allow a quick offset from the bpf prog if it chooses to start
getting from the network header or the tcp header.

In a later patch, the bpf prog only wants to be called to handle
a header option if that particular header option cannot be handled by
the kernel.  This unknown option could be written by the peer's bpf-prog.
It could also be a new standard option that the running kernel does not
support it while a bpf-prog can handle it.

This patch adds a "saw_unknown" bit to "struct tcp_options_received"
and it uses an existing one byte hole to do that.  "saw_unknown" will
be set in tcp_parse_options() if it sees an option that the kernel
cannot handle.

The TCP_SAVE_SYN has both the network header and tcp header.
The total length of the saved syn packet is currently stored in
the first 4 bytes (u32) of an array and the actual packet data is
stored after that.

A later patch will add a bpf helper that allows to get the tcp header
alone from the saved syn without the network header.  It will be more
convenient to have a direct offset to a specific header instead of
re-parsing it.  This requires to separately store the network hdrlen.
The total header length (i.e. network + tcp) is still needed for the
current usage in getsockopt.  Although this total length can be obtained
by looking into the tcphdr and then get the (th-&gt;doff &lt;&lt; 2), this patch
chooses to directly store the tcp hdrlen in the second four bytes of
this newly created "struct saved_syn".  By using a new struct, it can
give a readable name to each individual header length.

The TCP_SAVE_SYN has both the network header and tcp header.
The total length of the saved syn packet is currently stored in
the first 4 bytes (u32) of an array and the actual packet data is
stored after that.

alone from the saved syn without the network header.  It will be more

This change adds TCP_NLA_EDT to SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS that reports
the earliest departure time(EDT) of the timestamped skb. By tracking EDT
values of the skb from different timestamps, we can observe when and how
much the value changed. This allows to measure the precise delay
injected on the sender host e.g. by a bpf-base throttler.
