sk->sk_timer has been used for TCP keepalives.
Keepalive timers are not in fast path, we want to use sk->sk_timer
storage for retransmit timers, for better cache locality.
Create icsk->icsk_keepalive_timer and change keepalive
code to no longer use sk->sk_timer.
Added space is reclaimed in the following patch.
This includes changes to MPTCP, which was also using sk_timer.
Alias icsk->mptcp_tout_timer and icsk->icsk_keepalive_timer
for inet_sk_diag_fill() sake.

Make tcp-md5 use the MD5 library API (added in 6.18) instead of the
crypto_ahash API. This is much simpler and also more efficient:
- The library API just operates on struct md5_ctx. Just allocate this
struct on the stack instead of using a pool of pre-allocated
crypto_ahash and ahash_request objects.
- The library API accepts standard pointers and doesn't require
scatterlists. So, for hashing the headers just use an on-stack buffer
instead of a pool of pre-allocated kmalloc'ed scratch buffers.
- The library API never fails. Therefore, checking for MD5 hashing
errors is no longer necessary. Update tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb(),
tcp_v6_md5_hash_skb(), tcp_v4_md5_hash_hdr(), tcp_v6_md5_hash_hdr(),
tcp_md5_hash_key(), tcp_sock_af_ops::calc_md5_hash, and
tcp_request_sock_ops::calc_md5_hash to return void instead of int.
- The library API provides direct access to the MD5 code, eliminating
unnecessary overhead such as indirect function calls and scatterlist
management. Microbenchmarks of tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb() on x86_64 show a
speedup from 7518 to 7041 cycles (6% fewer) with skb->len == 1440, or
from 1020 to 678 cycles (33% fewer) with skb->len == 140.
Since tcp_sigpool_hash_skb_data() can no longer be used, add a function
tcp_md5_hash_skb_data() which is specialized to MD5. Of course, to the
extent that this duplicates any code, it's well worth it.
To preserve the existing behavior of TCP-MD5 support being disabled when
the kernel is booted with "fips=1", make tcp_md5_do_add() check
fips_enabled itself. Previously it relied on the error from
crypto_alloc_ahash("md5") being bubbled up. I don't know for sure that
this is actually needed, but this preserves the existing behavior.
Tested with bidirectional TCP-MD5, both IPv4 and IPv6, between a kernel
that includes this commit and a kernel that doesn't include this commit.
(Side note: please don't use TCP-MD5! It's cryptographically weak. But
as long as Linux supports it, it might as well be implemented properly.)

In {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock, struct ipv6_pinfo is always placed at
the beginning of a new cache line because
1. __alignof__(struct tcp_sock) is 64 due to ____cacheline_aligned
of __cacheline_group_begin(tcp_sock_write_tx)
2. __alignof__(struct udp_sock) is 64 due to ____cacheline_aligned
of struct numa_drop_counters
3. in raw6_sock, struct numa_drop_counters is placed before
struct ipv6_pinfo
. struct ipv6_pinfo is 136 bytes, but the last cache line is
only used by ipv6_fl_list:
$ pahole -C ipv6_pinfo vmlinux
struct ipv6_pinfo {
...
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
struct ipv6_fl_socklist * ipv6_fl_list; /* 128 8 */
/* size: 136, cachelines: 3, members: 23 */
Let's move ipv6_fl_list from struct ipv6_pinfo to struct inet_sock
to save a full cache line for {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock.
Now, struct ipv6_pinfo is 128 bytes, and {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock have
64 bytes less, while {tcp,udp,raw}_sock retain the same size.
Before:
# grep -E "^(RAW|UDP[^L\-]|TCP)" /proc/slabinfo | awk '{print $1, "\t", $4}'
RAWv6 1408
UDPv6 1472
TCPv6 2560
RAW 1152

After:
# grep -E "^(RAW|UDP[^L\-]|TCP)" /proc/slabinfo | awk '{print $1, "\t", $4}'
RAWv6 1344
UDPv6 1408
TCPv6 2496
RAW 1152
UDP 1280
TCP 2368
Also, ipv6_fl_list and inet_flags (SNDFLOW bit) are placed in the
same cache line.
$ pahole -C inet_sock vmlinux
...
/* --- cacheline 11 boundary (704 bytes) was 56 bytes ago --- */
struct ipv6_pinfo * pinet6; /* 760 8 */
/* --- cacheline 12 boundary (768 bytes) --- */
struct ipv6_fl_socklist * ipv6_fl_list; /* 768 8 */

Doc churn is due to the insufficient Type column (only 1 space short).

PSP eats 40B of header space. Adjust MSS appropriately.
We can either modify tcp_mtu_to_mss() / tcp_mss_to_mtu()
or reuse icsk_ext_hdr_len. The former option is more TCP
specific and has runtime overhead. The latter is a bit
of a hack as PSP is not an ext_hdr. If one squints hard
enough, UDP encap is just a more practical version of
IPv6 exthdr, so go with the latter. Happy to change.

Add validation points and state propagation to support PSP key
exchange inline, on TCP connections. The expectation is that
application will use some well established mechanism like TLS
handshake to establish a secure channel over the connection and
if both endpoints are PSP-capable - exchange and install PSP keys.
Because the connection can existing in PSP-unsecured and PSP-secured
state we need to make sure that there are no race conditions or
retransmission leaks.
On Tx - mark packets with the skb->decrypted bit when PSP key
is at the enqueue time. Drivers should only encrypt packets with
this bit set. This prevents retransmissions getting encrypted when
original transmission was not. Similarly to TLS, we'll use
sk->sk_validate_xmit_skb to make sure PSP skbs can't "escape"
via a PSP-unaware device without being encrypted.
On Rx - validation is done under socket lock. This moves the validation
point later than xfrm, for example. Please see the documentation patch
for more details on the flow of securing a connection, but for
the purpose of this patch what's important is that we want to
enforce the invariant that once connection is secured any skb
in the receive queue has been encrypted with PSP.
Add GRO and coalescing checks to prevent PSP authenticated data from
being combined with cleartext data, or data with non-matching PSP
state. On Rx, check skb's with psp_skb_coalesce_diff() at points
before psp_sk_rx_policy_check(). After skb's are policy checked and on
the socket receive queue, skb_cmp_decrypted() is sufficient for
checking for coalescable PSP state. On Tx, tcp_write_collapse_fence()
should be called when transitioning a socket into PSP Tx state to
prevent data sent as cleartext from being coalesced with PSP
encapsulated data.
This change only adds the validation points, for ease of review.
Subsequent change will add the ability to install keys, and flesh
the enforcement logic out

Accurate ECN negotiation parts based on the specification:
https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt
Accurate ECN is negotiated using ECE, CWR and AE flags in the
TCP header. TCP falls back into using RFC3168 ECN if one of the
ends supports only RFC3168-style ECN.
The AccECN negotiation includes reflecting IP ECN field value
seen in SYN and SYNACK back using the same bits as negotiation
to allow responding to SYN CE marks and to detect ECN field
mangling. CE marks should not occur currently because SYN=1
segments are sent with Non-ECT in IP ECN field (but proposal
exists to remove this restriction).
Reflecting SYN IP ECN field in SYNACK is relatively simple.
Reflecting SYNACK IP ECN field in the final/third ACK of
the handshake is more challenging. Linux TCP code is not well
prepared for using the final/third ACK a signalling channel
which makes things somewhat complicated here.
tcp_ecn sysctl can be used to select the highest ECN variant
(Accurate ECN, ECN, No ECN) that is attemped to be negotiated and
requested for incoming connection and outgoing connection:
TCP_ECN_IN_NOECN_OUT_NOECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ECN_OUT_ECN,
TCP_ECN_IN_ECN_OUT_NOECN, TCP_ECN_IN_ACCECN_OUT_ACCECN,

Currently there are a couple of minor issues with destroying the keys
tcp_v4_destroy_sock():
1. The socket is yet in TCP bind buckets, making it reachable for
incoming segments [on another CPU core], potentially available to send
late FIN/ACK/RST replies.
2. There is at least one code path, where tcp_done() is called before
sending RST [kudos to Bob for investigation]. This is a case of
a server, that finished sending its data and just called close().
The socket is in TCP_FIN_WAIT2 and has RCV_SHUTDOWN (set by
__tcp_close())

Note the signed RSTs later in the dump - those are sent by the server
when the fin-wait socket gets removed from hash buckets, by
the listener socket.
Instead of destroying AO/MD5 info and their keys in inet_csk_destroy_sock(),
slightly delay it until the actual socket .sk_destruct(). As shutdown'ed
socket can yet send non-data replies, they should be signed in order for
the peer to process them. Now it also matches how AO/MD5 gets destructed
for TIME-WAIT sockets (in tcp_twsk_destructor()).
This seems optimal for TCP-MD5, while for TCP-AO it seems to have an
open problem: once RST get sent and socket gets actually destructed,
there is no information on the initial sequence numbers. So, in case
this last RST gets lost in the network, the server's listener socket
won't be able to properly sign another RST. Nothing in RFC 1122
prescribes keeping any local state after non-graceful reset.
Luckily, BGP are known to use keep alive(s).
While the issue is quite minor/cosmetic, these days monitoring network
counters is a common practice and getting invalid signed segments from
a trusted BGP peer can get customers worried.

TCP tracks the number of orphaned (SOCK_DEAD but not yet destructed)
sockets in tcp_orphan_count.
In some code that was shared with DCCP, tcp_orphan_count is referenced
via sk->sk_prot->orphan_count.
Let's reference tcp_orphan_count directly.
inet_csk_prepare_for_destroy_sock() is moved to inet_connection_sock.c
due to header dependency.

Add a new SKB drop reason (SKB_DROP_REASON_PFMEMALLOC) to track packets
dropped due to memory pressure. In production environments, we've observed
memory exhaustion reported by memory layer stack traces, but these drops
were not properly tracked in the SKB drop reason infrastructure.
While most network code paths now properly report pfmemalloc drops, some
protocol-specific socket implementations still use sk_filter() without
drop reason tracking:
- Bluetooth L2CAP sockets
- CAIF sockets
- IUCV sockets
- Netlink sockets
- SCTP sockets
- Unix domain sockets
These remaining cases represent less common paths and could be converted
in a follow-up patch if needed. The current implementation provides
significantly improved observability into memory pressure events in the
network stack, especially for key protocols like TCP and UDP, helping to
diagnose problems in production environments.

Difference between sock_i_uid() and sk_uid() is that
after sock_orphan(), sock_i_uid() returns GLOBAL_ROOT_UID
while sk_uid() returns the last cached sk->sk_uid value.
None of sock_i_uid() callers care about this.
Use sk_uid() which is much faster and inlined.

Load balance new TCP connections across nexthops also when they
connect to the same service at a single remote address and port.
This affects only port-based multipath hashing:
fib_multipath_hash_policy 1 or 3.
Local connections must choose both a source address and port when
connecting to a remote service, in ip_route_connect. This
"chicken-and-egg problem" (commit 2d7192d6cb ("ipv4: Sanitize and
simplify ip_route_{connect,newports}()")) is resolved by first
selecting a source address, by looking up a route using the zero
wildcard source port and address.
As a result multiple connections to the same destination address and
port have no entropy in fib_multipath_hash.
This is not a problem when forwarding, as skb-based hashing has a
4-tuple. Nor when establishing UDP connections, as autobind there
selects a port before reaching ip_route_connect.
Load balance also TCP, by using a random port in fib_multipath_hash.
Port assignment in inet_hash_connect is not atomic with
ip_route_connect. Thus ports are unpredictable, effectively random.
Implementation details:
Do not actually pass a random fl4_sport, as that affects not only
hashing, but routing more broadly, and can match a source port based
policy route, which existing wildcard port 0 will not. Instead,
define a new wildcard flowi flag that is used only for hashing.
Selecting a random source is equivalent to just selecting a random
hash entirely. But for code clarity, follow the normal 4-tuple hash
process and only update this field.
fib_multipath_hash can be reached with zero sport from other code
paths, so explicitly pass this flowi flag, rather than trying to infer
this case in the function itself.

Devices in the networking path, such as firewalls, NATs, or routers, which
can perform SNAT or DNAT, use addresses from their own limited address
pools to masquerade the source address during forwarding, causing PAWS
verification to fail more easily.
Currently, packet loss statistics for PAWS can only be viewed through MIB,
which is a global metric and cannot be precisely obtained through tracing
to get the specific 4-tuple of the dropped packet. In the past, we had to
use kprobe ret to retrieve relevant skb information from
tcp_timewait_state_process().
We add a drop_reason pointer, similar to what previous commit does:
commit e34100c2ec ("tcp: add a drop_reason pointer to tcp_check_req()")
This commit addresses the PAWSESTABREJECTED case and also sets the
corresponding drop reason.
We use 'pwru' to test.

ECN bits in TOS are always cleared when sending in ACKs in TW. Clearing
them is problematic for TCP flows that used Accurate ECN because ECN bits
decide which service queue the packet is placed into (L4S vs Classic).
Effectively, TW ACKs are always downgraded from L4S to Classic queue
which might impact, e.g., delay the ACK will experience on the path
compared with the other packets of the flow.
Change the TW ACK sending code to differentiate:
- In tcp_v4_send_reset(), commit ba9e04a7dd ("ip: fix tos reflection
in ack and reset packets") cleans ECN bits for TW reset and this is
not affected.
- In tcp_v4_timewait_ack(), ECN bits for all TW ACKs are cleaned. But now
only ECN bits of ACKs for oow data or paws_reject are cleaned, and ECN
bits of other ACKs will not be cleaned.
- In tcp_v4_reqsk_send_ack(), commit 66b13d99d9 ("ipv4: tcp: fix TOS
value in ACK messages sent from TIME_WAIT") did not clean ECN bits of
ACKs for oow data or paws_reject. But now the ECN bits rae cleaned for
