    tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - support TFO listeners · 8336886f

    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.
