====================
This patch series provides the server (passive open) side code
for TCP Fast Open. Together with the earlier client side patches
it completes the TCP Fast Open implementation.

The server side Fast Open code accepts data carried in the SYN
packet with a valid Fast Open cookie, and passes it to the
application right away, allowing application to send back response
data, all before TCP's 3-way handshake finishes.

A simple cookie scheme together with capping the number of
outstanding TFO requests (still in TCP_SYN_RECV state) to a limit
per listener forms the main line of defense against spoofed SYN
attacks.

For more details about TCP Fast Open see our IETF internet draft
at http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-fastopen-01.txt
and a research paper at
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2011/papers/1569470463.pdf

A prototype implementation was first developed by Sivasankar
Radhakrishnan (sivasankar@cs.ucsd.edu).

A patch based on an older version of Linux kernel has been
undergoing internal tests at Google for the past few months.

      tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - main code path · 168a8f58
      Jerry Chu authored 
      This patch adds the main processing path to complete the TFO server
patches.

A TFO request (i.e., SYN+data packet with a TFO cookie option) first
gets processed in tcp_v4_conn_request(). If it passes the various TFO
checks by tcp_fastopen_check(), a child socket will be created right
away to be accepted by applications, rather than waiting for the 3WHS
to finish.

In additon to the use of TFO cookie, a simple max_qlen based scheme
is put in place to fend off spoofed TFO attack.

When a valid ACK comes back to tcp_rcv_state_process(), it will cause
the state of the child socket to switch from either TCP_SYN_RECV to
TCP_ESTABLISHED, or TCP_FIN_WAIT1 to TCP_FIN_WAIT2. At this time
retransmission will resume for any unack'ed (data, FIN,...) segments.

      tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - support TFO listeners · 8336886f
      Jerry Chu authored 
      This patch builds on top of the previous patch to add the support
for TFO listeners. This includes -

1. allocating, properly initializing, and managing the per listener
fastopen_queue structure when TFO is enabled

2. changes to the inet_csk_accept code to support TFO. E.g., the
request_sock can no longer be freed upon accept(), not until 3WHS
finishes

3. allowing a TCP_SYN_RECV socket to properly poll() and sendmsg()
if it's a TFO socket

4. properly closing a TFO listener, and a TFO socket before 3WHS
finishes

5. supporting TCP_FASTOPEN socket option

6. modifying tcp_check_req() to use to check a TFO socket as well
as request_sock

7. supporting TCP's TFO cookie option

8. adding a new SYN-ACK retransmit handler to use the timer directly
off the TFO socket rather than the listener socket. Note that TFO
server side will not retransmit anything other than SYN-ACK until
the 3WHS is completed.

The patch also contains an important function
"reqsk_fastopen_remove()" to manage the somewhat complex relation
between a listener, its request_sock, and the corresponding child
socket. See the comment above the function for the detail.

      tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - header & support functions · 10467163
      Jerry Chu authored 
      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.
