As a followup of my presentation in Zagreb for netdev 0x19:

icsk_clean_acked is only used by TCP when/if CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE
is enabled from tcp_ack().

Rename it to tcp_clean_acked, move it to tcp_sock structure
in the tcp_sock_read_rx for better cache locality in TCP
fast path.

Define this field only when CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE is enabled
saving 8 bytes on configs not using it.

<title>tcp: be less liberal in TSEcr received while in SYN_RECV state</title>

Yong-Hao Zou mentioned that linux was not strict as other OS in 3WHS,
for flows using TCP TS option (RFC 7323)

As hinted by an old comment in tcp_check_req(),
we can check the TSEcr value in the incoming packet corresponds
to one of the SYNACK TSval values we have sent.

In this patch, I record the oldest and most recent values
that SYNACK packets have used.

Send a challenge ACK if we receive a TSEcr outside
of this range, and increase a new SNMP counter.

nstat -az | grep TSEcrRejected
TcpExtTSEcrRejected            0                  0.0

Due to TCP fastopen implementation, do not apply yet these checks
for fastopen flows.

v2: No longer use req-&gt;num_timeout, but treq-&gt;snt_tsval_first
    to detect when first SYNACK is prepared. This means
    we make sure to not send an initial zero TSval.
    Make sure MPTCP and TCP selftests are passing.
    Change MIB name to TcpExtTSEcrRejected

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CADVnQykD8i4ArpSZaPKaoNxLJ2if2ts9m4As+=Jvdkrgx1qMHw@mail.gmail.com/T/

tp-&gt;recvmsg_inq is used from tcp recvmsg() thus should
be in tcp_sock_read_rx group.

tp-&gt;tcp_clock_cache and tp-&gt;tcp_mstamp are written

Stephen Rothwell and kernel test robot reported that some arches
(parisc, hexagon) and/or compilers would not like blamed commit.

Lets make sure tcp_sock_write_rx group does not start with a hole.

While we are at it, correct tcp_sock_write_tx CACHELINE_ASSERT_GROUP_SIZE()
since after the blamed commit, we went to 105 bytes.

By moving some fields around, this patch shrinks
holes size from 56 to 32, saving 24 bytes on 64bit arches.

After the patch pahole gives the following for 'struct tcp_sock':

	/* sum members: 2234, holes: 6, sum holes: 32 */

This extra check doesn't work for a handshake when SYN segment has
(current_key.maclen != rnext_key.maclen). It could be amended to
preserve rnext_key.maclen instead of current_key.maclen, but that
requires a lookup on listen socket.

Originally, this extra maclen check was introduced just because it was
cheap. Drop it and convert tcp_request_sock::maclen into boolean
tcp_request_sock::used_tcp_ao.

This extra check doesn't work for a handshake when SYN segment has
(current_key.maclen != rnext_key.maclen). It could be amended to
preserve rnext_key.maclen instead of current_key.maclen, but that
requires a lookup on listen socket.
