tcp: track the packet timings in RACK This patch is the first half of the RACK loss recovery. RACK loss recovery uses the notion of time instead of packet sequence (FACK) or counts (dupthresh). It's inspired by the previous FACK heuristic in tcp_mark_lost_retrans(): when a limited transmit (new data packet) is sacked, then current retransmitted sequence below the newly sacked sequence must been lost, since at least one round trip time has elapsed. But it has several limitations: 1) can't detect tail drops since it depends on limited transmit 2) is disabled upon reordering (assumes no reordering) 3) only enabled in fast recovery ut not timeout recovery RACK (Recently ACK) addresses these limitations with the notion of time instead: a packet P1 is lost if a later packet P2 is s/acked, as at least one round trip has passed. Since RACK cares about the time sequence instead of the data sequence of packets, it can detect tail drops when later retransmission is s/acked while FACK or dupthresh can't. For reordering RACK uses a dynamically adjusted reordering window ("reo_wnd") to reduce false positives on ever (small) degree of reordering. This patch implements tcp_advanced_rack() which tracks the most recent transmission time among the packets that have been delivered (ACKed or SACKed) in tp->rack.mstamp. This timestamp is the key to determine which packet has been lost. Consider an example that the sender sends six packets: T1: P1 (lost) T2: P2 T3: P3 T4: P4 T100: sack of P2. rack.mstamp = T2 T101: retransmit P1 T102: sack of P2,P3,P4. rack.mstamp = T4 T205: ACK of P4 since the hole is repaired. rack.mstamp = T101 We need to be careful about spurious retransmission because it may falsely advance tp->rack.mstamp by an RTT or an RTO, causing RACK to falsely mark all packets lost, just like a spurious timeout. We identify spurious retransmission by the ACK's TS echo value. If TS option is not applicable but the retransmission is acknowledged less than min-RTT ago, it is likely to be spurious. We refrain from using the transmission time of these spurious retransmissions. The second half is implemented in the next patch that marks packet lost using RACK timestamp.

*
* dupthresh: 3 OOO packets delivered (packet count)
* FACK: sequence delta to highest sacked sequence (sequence space)
* RACK: sent time delta to the latest delivered packet (time domain)
*
* The advantage of RACK is it applies to both original and retransmitted
* packet and therefore is robust against tail losses. Another advantage
* is being more resilient to reordering by simply allowing some
* "settling delay", instead of tweaking the dupthresh.
*
* The current version is only used after recovery starts but can be
* easily extended to detect the first loss.
