5c52ba170f sock: add net to prot->enter_memory_pressure callback
The tcp_enter_memory_pressure calls NET_INC_STATS, but doesn't
have where to get the net from.

I decided to add a sk argument, not the net itself, only to factor
all the required sock_net(sk) calls inside the enter_memory_pressure 
callback itself.

ec0a196626 tcp: Revert 'process defer accept as established' changes.
This reverts two changesets, ec3c0982a2
("[TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established") and
the follow-on bug fix 9ae27e0adb
("tcp: Fix slab corruption with ipv6 and tcp6fuzz").

This change causes several problems, first reported by Ingo Molnar
as a distcc-over-loopback regression where connections were getting
stuck.

Ilpo Järvinen first spotted the locking problems.  The new function
added by this code, tcp_defer_accept_check(), only has the
child socket locked, yet it is modifying state of the parent
listening socket.

Fixing that is non-trivial at best, because we can't simply just grab
the parent listening socket lock at this point, because it would
create an ABBA deadlock.  The normal ordering is parent listening
socket --> child socket, but this code path would require the
reverse lock ordering.

Next is a problem noticed by Vitaliy Gusev, he noted:

----------------------------------------
>--- a/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>+++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>@@ -481,6 +481,11 @@ static void tcp_keepalive_timer (unsigned long data)
> 		goto death;
> 	}
>
>+	if (tp->defer_tcp_accept.request && sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED) {
>+		tcp_send_active_reset(sk, GFP_ATOMIC);
>+		goto death;

Here socket sk is not attached to listening socket's request queue. tcp_done()
will not call inet_csk_destroy_sock() (and tcp_v4_destroy_sock() which should
release this sk) as socket is not DEAD. Therefore socket sk will be lost for
freeing.
----------------------------------------

Finally, Alexey Kuznetsov argues that there might not even be any
real value or advantage to these new semantics even if we fix all
of the bugs:

----------------------------------------
Hiding from accept() sockets with only out-of-order data only
is the only thing which is impossible with old approach. Is this really
so valuable? My opinion: no, this is nothing but a new loophole
to consume memory without control.
----------------------------------------

So revert this thing for now.

This change is necessary to allow cwnd to grow during persistent

than 3 packets, but less than tp->reordering, cwnd will shrink when
it should not have.

4dfc281702 [Syncookies]: Add support for TCP options via timestamps.
Allow the use of SACK and window scaling when syncookies are used
and the client supports tcp timestamps. Options are encoded into
the timestamp sent in the syn-ack and restored from the timestamp
echo when the ack is received.

Based on earlier work by Glenn Griffin.
This patch avoids increasing the size of structs by encoding TCP
options into the least significant bits of the timestamp and
by not using any 'timestamp offset'.

The downside is that the timestamp sent in the packet after the synack
will increase by several seconds.

changes since v1:
 don't duplicate timestamp echo decoding function, put it into ipv4/syncookie.c
 and have ipv6/syncookies.c use it.
 Feedback from Glenn Griffin: fix line indented with spaces, kill redundant if ()

882bebaaca [TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+L
This fixes Bugzilla #10384

tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking
whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use.

The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather
complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward
cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it
may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs
arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well,
leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next
cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate
ACK will fix the S counter.

More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to
just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but
it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie.,
the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs
had arrived.

So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state
when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out
might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out
overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports
of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel
before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit
1b6d427bb7 ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging
write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

the first u32 copied from syncookie_secret is overwritten by the

AFAICS, the only other user of syncookie_secret[] is the ipv6
syncookie support.  Because ipv6 syncookies only grab 44 bytes from
syncookie_secret[], this shouldn't affect them in any way.

ec3c0982a2 [TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established
Change TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT implementation so that it transitions a
connection to ESTABLISHED after handshake is complete instead of
leaving it in SYN-RECV until some data arrvies. Place connection in
accept queue when first data packet arrives from slow path.

Benefits:
  - established connection is now reset if it never makes it
   to the accept queue

 - diagnostic state of established matches with the packet traces
   showing completed handshake

 - TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT timeouts are expressed in seconds and can now be
   enforced with reasonable accuracy instead of rounding up to next
   exponential back-off of syn-ack retry.

3ab224be6d [NET] CORE: Introducing new memory accounting interface.
This patch introduces new memory accounting functions for each network
protocol. Most of them are renamed from memory accounting functions
for stream protocols. At the same time, some stream memory accounting
functions are removed since other functions do same thing.

Renaming:
	sk_stream_free_skb()		->	sk_wmem_free_skb()
	__sk_stream_mem_reclaim()	->	__sk_mem_reclaim()
	sk_stream_mem_reclaim()		->	sk_mem_reclaim()
	sk_stream_mem_schedule 		->    	__sk_mem_schedule()
	sk_stream_pages()      		->	sk_mem_pages()
	sk_stream_rmem_schedule()	->	sk_rmem_schedule()
	sk_stream_wmem_schedule()	->	sk_wmem_schedule()
	sk_charge_skb()			->	sk_mem_charge()

Removeing
	sk_stream_rfree():	consolidates into sock_rfree()
	sk_stream_set_owner_r(): consolidates into skb_set_owner_r()
	sk_stream_mem_schedule()

The following functions are added.
    	sk_has_account(): check if the protocol supports accounting
	sk_mem_uncharge(): do the opposite of sk_mem_charge()

In addition, to achieve consolidation, updating sk_wmem_queued is
removed from sk_mem_charge().

Next, to consolidate memory accounting functions, this patch adds
memory accounting calls to network core functions. Moreover, present
memory accounting call is renamed to new accounting call.

Finally we replace present memory accounting calls with new interface
in TCP and SCTP.

Better place exists in update_send_head (other non-queue related
adjustments are done there as well) which is the only caller of
tcp_advance_send_head (now that the bogus call from mtu_probe is
gone).

68f8353b48 [TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache use
Key points of this patch are:

  - In case new SACK information is advance only type, no skb
    processing below previously discovered highest point is done
  - Optimize cases below highest point too since there's no need
    to always go up to highest point (which is very likely still
    present in that SACK), this is not entirely true though
    because I'm dropping the fastpath_skb_hint which could
    previously optimize those cases even better. Whether that's
    significant, I'm not too sure.

Currently it will provide skipping by walking. Combined with
RB-tree, all skipping would become fast too regardless of window
size (can be done incrementally later).

Previously a number of cases in TCP SACK processing fails to
take advantage of costly stored information in sack_recv_cache,
most importantly, expected events such as cumulative ACK and new
hole ACKs. Processing on such ACKs result in rather long walks
building up latencies (which easily gets nasty when window is
huge). Those latencies are often completely unnecessary
compared with the amount of _new_ information received, usually
for cumulative ACK there's no new information at all, yet TCP
walks whole queue unnecessary potentially taking a number of
costly cache misses on the way, etc.!

Since the inclusion of highest_sack, there's a lot information
that is very likely redundant (SACK fastpath hint stuff,
fackets_out, highest_sack), though there's no ultimate guarantee
that they'll remain the same whole the time (in all unearthly
scenarios). Take advantage of this knowledge here and drop
fastpath hint and use direct access to highest SACKed skb as
a replacement.

Effectively "special cased" fastpath is dropped. This change
adds some complexity to introduce better coveraged "fastpath",
though the added complexity should make TCP behave more cache
friendly.

The current ACK's SACK blocks are compared against each cached
block individially and only ranges that are new are then scanned
by the high constant walk. For other parts of write queue, even
when in previously known part of the SACK blocks, a faster skip
function is used (if necessary at all). In addition, whenever
possible, TCP fast-forwards to highest_sack skb that was made
available by an earlier patch. In typical case, no other things
but this fast-forward and mandatory markings after that occur
making the access pattern quite similar to the former fastpath
"special case".

DSACKs are special case that must always be walked.

The local to recv_sack_cache copying could be more intelligent
w.r.t DSACKs which are likely to be there only once but that
is left to a separate patch.

6e42141009 [TCP] MTUprobe: fix potential sk_send_head corruption
When the abstraction functions got added, conversion here was
made incorrectly. As a result, the skb may end up pointing
to skb which got included to the probe skb and then was freed.
For it to trigger, however, skb_transmit must fail sending as
well.

c1bd24b768 [TCP]: Remove unneeded implicit type cast when calling tcp_minshall_update()
The tcp_minshall_update() function is called in exactly one place, and is
passed an unsigned integer for the mss_len argument.  Make the sign of the
argument match the sign of the passed variable in order to eliminate an
unneeded implicit type cast and a mixed sign comparison in
tcp_minshall_update().

b76892051c [TCP]: Avoid clearing sacktag hint in trivial situations
There's no reason to clear the sacktag skb hint when small part
of the rexmit queue changes. Account changes (if any) instead when
fragmenting/collapsing. RTO/FRTO do not touch SACKED_ACKED bits so
no need to discard SACK tag hint at all.
