<content type='text'>
Whenever host is under very high memory pressure,
__tcp_send_ack() skb allocation fails, and we setup
a 200 ms (TCP_DELACK_MAX) timer before retrying.

On hosts with high number of TCP sockets, we can spend
considerable amount of cpu cycles in these attempts,
add high pressure on various spinlocks in mm-layer,
ultimately blocking threads attempting to free space
from making any progress.

This patch adds standard exponential backoff to avoid
adding fuel to the fire.

TCP has been using it to work around the possibility of tcp_delack_timer()
finding the socket owned by user.

After commit 6f458dfb4092 ("tcp: improve latencies of timer triggered events")
we added TCP_DELACK_TIMER_DEFERRED atomic bit for more immediate recovery,
so we can get rid of icsk_ack.blocked

This frees space that following patch will reuse.

<title>tcp: Only init congestion control if not initialized already</title>

<id>8919a9b31eb4fb4c0a93e5fb350a626924302aa6</id>
<content type='text'>
Change tcp_init_transfer() to only initialize congestion control if it
has not been initialized already.

With this new approach, we can arrange things so that if the EBPF code
sets the congestion control by calling setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) then
tcp_init_transfer() will not re-initialize the CC module.

This is an approach that has the following beneficial properties:

(1) This allows CC module customizations made by the EBPF called in
    tcp_init_transfer() to persist, and not be wiped out by a later
    call to tcp_init_congestion_control() in tcp_init_transfer().

(2) Does not flip the order of EBPF and CC init, to avoid causing bugs
    for existing code upstream that depends on the current order.

(3) Does not cause 2 initializations for for CC in the case where the
    EBPF called in tcp_init_transfer() wants to set the CC to a new CC
    algorithm.

(4) Allows follow-on simplifications to the code in net/core/filter.c
    and net/ipv4/tcp_cong.c, which currently both have some complexity
    to special-case CC initialization to avoid double CC
    initialization if EBPF sets the CC.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds bpf_setsockopt(TCP_BPF_RTO_MIN) to allow bpf prog
to set the min rto of a connection.  It could be used together
with the earlier patch which has added bpf_setsockopt(TCP_BPF_DELACK_MAX).

A later selftest patch will communicate the max delay ack in a
bpf tcp header option and then the receiving side can use
bpf_setsockopt(TCP_BPF_RTO_MIN) to set a shorter rto.

<id>2b8ee4f05d4f6a6c427ad30dd6c1bb49eb2efd3b</id>
<content type='text'>
This change is mostly from an internal patch and adapts it from sysctl
config to the bpf_setsockopt setup.

The bpf_prog can set the max delay ack by using
bpf_setsockopt(TCP_BPF_DELACK_MAX).  This max delay ack can be communicated
to its peer through bpf header option.  The receiving peer can then use
this max delay ack and set a potentially lower rto by using
bpf_setsockopt(TCP_BPF_RTO_MIN) which will be introduced
in the next patch.

Another later selftest patch will also use it like the above to show
how to write and parse bpf tcp header option.

Clearing the 'inet_num' field is necessary and safe if and
only if the socket is not bound. The MPTCP protocol calls
the destroy helper on bound sockets, as tcp_v{4,6}_syn_recv_sock
completed successfully.

Move the clearing of such field out of the common code, otherwise
the MPTCP MP_JOIN error path will find the wrong 'inet_num' value
on socket disposal, __inet_put_port() will acquire the wrong lock
and bind_node removal could race with other modifiers possibly
corrupting the bind hash table.
