[ Upstream commit 4ee806d51176ba7b8ff1efd81f271d7252e03a1d ]

When a tcp socket is closed, if it detects that its net namespace is
exiting, close immediately and do not wait for FIN sequence.

For normal sockets, a reference is taken to their net namespace, so it will
never exit while the socket is open.  However, kernel sockets do not take a
reference to their net namespace, so it may begin exiting while the kernel
socket is still open.  In this case if the kernel socket is a tcp socket,
it will stay open trying to complete its close sequence.  The sock's dst(s)
hold a reference to their interface, which are all transferred to the
namespace's loopback interface when the real interfaces are taken down.
When the namespace tries to take down its loopback interface, it hangs
waiting for all references to the loopback interface to release, which
results in messages like:

unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1

These messages continue until the socket finally times out and closes.
Since the net namespace cleanup holds the net_mutex while calling its
registered pernet callbacks, any new net namespace initialization is
blocked until the current net namespace finishes exiting.

After this change, the tcp socket notices the exiting net namespace, and
closes immediately, releasing its dst(s) and their reference to the
loopback interface, which lets the net namespace continue exiting.

[ Upstream commit 2dda640040876cd8ae646408b69eea40c24f9ae9 ]

syzkaller was able to trigger a divide by 0 in TCP stack [1]

Issue here is that keepalive timer needs to be updated to not attempt
to send a probe if the connection setup was deferred using
TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT socket option added in linux-4.11

[ Upstream commit 02b2faaf0af1d85585f6d6980e286d53612acfc2 ]

Dmitry Vyukov reported a divide by 0 triggered by syzkaller, exploiting
tcp_disconnect() path that was never really considered and/or used
before syzkaller ;)

I was not able to reproduce the bug, but it seems issues here are the
three possible actions that assumed they would never trigger on a
listener.

1) tcp_write_timer_handler
2) tcp_delack_timer_handler
3) MTU reduction

Only IPv6 MTU reduction was properly testing TCP_CLOSE and TCP_LISTEN
 states from tcp_v6_mtu_reduced()

Some middle-boxes black-hole the data after the Fast Open handshake
(https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/94/slides/slides-94-tcpm-13.pdf).
The exact reason is unknown. The work-around is to disable Fast Open
temporarily after multiple recurring timeouts with few or no data

The alive parameter of tcp_orphan_retries, indicates
whether the connection is assumed alive or not.
In the function and all places calling it is used as a boolean value.

Therefore this changes the type of alive to bool in the function
definition and all calling locations.

Since tcp_orphan_tries is a tcp_timer.c local function no change in
any other file or header is necessary.

Introduce an optimized version of sk_under_memory_pressure()
for TCP. Our intent is to use it in fast paths.

Diagnosing problems related to Window Probes has been hard because
we lack a counter.

TCPWinProbe counts the number of ACK packets a sender has to send
at regular intervals to make sure a reverse ACK packet opening back
a window had not been lost.

TCPKeepAlive counts the number of ACK packets sent to keep TCP
flows alive (SO_KEEPALIVE)

<title>tcp: RFC7413 option support for Fast Open client</title>

Fast Open has been using an experimental option with a magic number
(RFC6994). This patch makes the client by default use the RFC7413
option (34) to get and send Fast Open cookies.  This patch makes
the client solicit cookies from a given server first with the
RFC7413 option. If that fails to elicit a cookie, then it tries
the RFC6994 experimental option. If that also fails, it uses the
RFC7413 option on all subsequent connect attempts.  If the server
returns a Fast Open cookie then the client caches the form of the
option that successfully elicited a cookie, and uses that form on
later connects when it presents that cookie.

The idea is to gradually obsolete the use of experimental options as
the servers and clients upgrade, while keeping the interoperability
meanwhile.
