For connections experiencing reordering, RACK can mark packets lost
long after we receive the SACKs/ACKs hinting that the packets were
actually lost.
This means that CC modules cannot easily learn the volume of inflight
data at which packet loss happens by looking at the current inflight
or even the packets in flight when the most recently SACKed packet was
sent. To learn this, CC modules need to know how many packets were in
flight at the time lost packets were sent. This new callback, combined
with TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tx.in_flight, allows them to learn this.
This also provides a consistent callback that is invoked whether
packets are marked lost upon ACK processing, using the RACK reordering
timer, or at RTO time.

When we fragment an skb that has already been sent, we need to update
the tx.in_flight for the first skb in the resulting pair ("buff").
Because we were not updating the tx.in_flight, the tx.in_flight value
was inconsistent with the pcount of the "buff" skb (tx.in_flight would
be too high). That meant that if the "buff" skb was lost, then
bbr2_inflight_hi_from_lost_skb() would calculate an inflight_hi value
that is too high. This could result in longer queues and higher packet
loss.
Packetdrill testing verified that without this commit, when the second
half of an skb is SACKed and then later the first half of that skb is
marked lost, the calculated inflight_hi was incorrect.

Add a a new ca opts flag TCP_CONG_WANTS_CE_EVENTS that allows a
congestion control module to receive CE events.
Currently congestion control modules have to set the TCP_CONG_NEEDS_ECN
bit in opts flag to receive CE events but this may incur changes in ECN
behavior elsewhere. This patch adds a new bit TCP_CONG_WANTS_CE_EVENTS
that allows congestion control modules to receive CE events
independently of TCP_CONG_NEEDS_ECN.

Before this commit, when there is a packet loss that creates a sequence
hole that is filled by a TLP loss probe, then tcp_process_tlp_ack()
only informs the congestion control (CC) module via a back-to-back entry
and exit of CWR. But some congestion control modules (e.g. BBR) do not
respond to CWR events.
This commit adds a new CA event with which the core TCP stack notifies
the CC module when a loss is repaired by a TLP. This will allow CC
modules that do not use the CWR mechanism to have a custom handler for
such TLP recoveries.

Introduce is_acking_tlp_retrans_seq into rate_sample. This bool will
export to the CC module the knowledge of whether the current ACK
matched a TLP retransmit.
Note that when this bool is true, we cannot yet tell (in general) whether
this ACK is for the original or the TLP retransmit.

Define and implement a new per-route feature, RTAX_FEATURE_ECN_LOW.
This feature indicates that the given destination network is a
low-latency ECN environment, meaning both that ECN CE marks are
applied by the network using a low-latency marking threshold and also
that TCP endpoints provide precise per-data-segment ECN feedback in
ACKs (where the ACK ECE flag echoes the received CE status of all
newly-acknowledged data segments). This feature indication can be used
by congestion control algorithms to decide how to interpret ECN
signals over the given destination network.
This feature is appropriate for datacenter-style ECN marking, such as
the ECN marking approach expected by DCTCP or BBR congestion control
modules.

commit b8adb69a7d29c2d33eb327bca66476fb6066516b upstream.
Since the introduction of the subflow ULP diag interface, the
dump callback accessed all the subflow data with lockless.
We need either to annotate all the read and write operation accordingly,
or acquire the subflow socket lock. Let's do latter, even if slower, to
avoid a diffstat havoc.

[ Upstream commit 73ed8e03388d16c12fc577e5c700b58a29045a15 ]
cookie_init_timestamp() is supposed to return a 64bit timestamp
suitable for both TSval determination and setting of skb->tstamp.
Unfortunately it uses 32bit fields and overflows after
2^32 * 10^6 nsec (~49 days) of uptime.
Generated TSval are still correct, but skb->tstamp might be set
far away in the past, potentially confusing other layers.
tcp_ns_to_ts() is changed to return a full 64bit value,
ts and ts_now variables are changed to u64 type,
and TSMASK is removed in favor of shifts operations.
While we are at it, change this sequence:
ts >>= TSBITS;
ts--;
ts <<= TSBITS;
ts |= options;
to:
ts -= (1UL << TSBITS);

commit 1c2709cfff1dedbb9591e989e2f001484208d914 upstream.
We discovered from packet traces of slow loss recovery on kernels with
the default HZ=250 setting (and min_rtt < 1ms) that after reordering,
when receiving a SACKed sequence range, the RACK reordering timer was
firing after about 16ms rather than the desired value of roughly
min_rtt/4 + 2ms. The problem is largely due to the RACK reorder timer
calculation adding in TCP_TIMEOUT_MIN, which is 2 jiffies. On kernels
with HZ=250, this is 2*4ms = 8ms. The TLP timer calculation has the
exact same issue.
This commit fixes the TLP transmit timer and RACK reordering timer
floor calculation to more closely match the intended 2ms floor even on
kernels with HZ=250. It does this by adding in a new
TCP_TIMEOUT_MIN_US floor of 2000 us and then converting to jiffies,
instead of the current approach of converting to jiffies and then
adding th TCP_TIMEOUT_MIN value of 2 jiffies.
Our testing has verified that on kernels with HZ=1000, as expected,
this does not produce significant changes in behavior, but on kernels
with the default HZ=250 the latency improvement can be large. For
example, our tests show that for HZ=250 kernels at low RTTs this fix
roughly halves the latency for the RACK reorder timer: instead of
mostly firing at 16ms it mostly fires at 8ms.
