    tcp: Add timewait recycling bits to ipv6 connect code. · 493f377d
    David S. Miller authored
    This will also improve handling of ipv6 tcp socket request
    backlog when syncookies are not enabled.  When backlog
    becomes very deep, last quarter of backlog is limited to
    validated destinations.  Previously only ipv4 implemented
    this logic, but now ipv6 does too.
    
    Now we are only one step away from enabling timewait
    recycling for ipv6, and that step is simply filling in
    the implementation of tcp_v6_get_peer() and
    tcp_v6_tw_get_peer().
