Josef Bacik diagnosed following problem :
I was seeing random disconnects while testing NBD over loopback.
This turned out to be because NBD sets pfmemalloc on it's socket,
however the receiving side is a user space application so does not
have pfmemalloc set on its socket. This means that
sk_filter_trim_cap will simply drop this packet, under the
assumption that the other side will simply retransmit. Well we do
retransmit, and then the packet is just dropped again for the same
reason.
It seems the better way to address this problem is to clear pfmemalloc
in the TCP transmit path. pfmemalloc strict control really makes sense
on the receive path.

Currently the retransmission stats are not incremented if the
retransmit fails locally. But we always increment the other packet
counters that track total packet/bytes sent. Awkwardly while we
don't count these failed retransmits in RETRANSSEGS, we do count
them in FAILEDRETRANS.
If the qdisc is dropping many packets this could under-estimate
TCP retransmission rate substantially from both SNMP or per-socket
TCP_INFO stats. This patch changes this by always incrementing
retransmission stats on retransmission attempts and failures.
Another motivation is to properly track retransmists in
SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS. Since SCM_TSTAMP_SCHED collection is
triggered in tcp_transmit_skb(), If tp->total_retrans is incremented
after the function, we'll always mis-count by the amount of the
latest retransmission.

This patch removes the support of RFC5827 early retransmit (i.e.,
fast recovery on small inflight with <3 dupacks) because it is
subsumed by the new RACK loss detection. More specifically when
RACK receives DUPACKs, it'll arm a reordering timer to start fast
recovery after a quarter of (min)RTT, hence it covers the early
retransmit except RACK does not limit itself to specific inflight
or dupack numbers.

Forward retransmit is an esoteric feature in RFC3517 (condition(3)
in the NextSeg()). Basically if a packet is not considered lost by
the current criteria (# of dupacks etc), but the congestion window
has room for more packets, then retransmit this packet.
However it actually conflicts with the rest of recovery design. For
example, when reordering is detected we want to be conservative
in retransmitting packets but forward-retransmit feature would
break that to force more retransmission. Also the implementation is
fairly complicated inside the retransmission logic inducing extra
iterations in the write queue. With RACK losses are being detected
timely and this heuristic is no longer necessary. There this patch
removes the feature.

This patch makes RACK install a reordering timer when it suspects
some packets might be lost, but wants to delay the decision
a little bit to accomodate reordering.
It does not create a new timer but instead repurposes the existing
RTO timer, because both are meant to retransmit packets.
Specifically it arms a timer ICSK_TIME_REO_TIMEOUT when
the RACK timing check fails. The wait time is set to
RACK.RTT + RACK.reo_wnd - (NOW - Packet.xmit_time) + fudge
This translates to expecting a packet (Packet) should take
(RACK.RTT + RACK.reo_wnd + fudge) to deliver after it was sent.
When there are multiple packets that need a timer, we use one timer
with the maximum timeout. Therefore the timer conservatively uses
the maximum window to expire N packets by one timeout, instead of
N timeouts to expire N packets sent at different times.
The fudge factor is 2 jiffies to ensure when the timer fires, all
the suspected packets would exceed the deadline and be marked lost
by tcp_rack_detect_loss(). It has to be at least 1 jiffy because the
clock may tick between calling icsk_reset_xmit_timer(timeout) and
actually hang the timer. The next jiffy is to lower-bound the timeout
to 2 jiffies when reo_wnd is < 1ms.
When the reordering timer fires (tcp_rack_reo_timeout): If we aren't
in Recovery we'll enter fast recovery and force fast retransmit.
This is very similar to the early retransmit (RFC5827) except RACK
is not constrained to only enter recovery for small outstanding
flights.

So only two items are left:
- add a tsoffset for request sockets
- extend the tcp isn generator to also return another 32bit number
in addition to the ISN.
Re-use of ISN generator also means timestamps are still monotonically

This patch measures the amount of time when TCP runs out of new data
to send to the network due to insufficient send buffer, while TCP
is still busy delivering (i.e. write queue is not empty). The goal
is to indicate either the send buffer autotuning or user SO_SNDBUF

The measurement starts conservatively by checking various conditions
to minimize false claims (i.e. under-estimation is more likely).
The measurement stops when the SOCK_NOSPACE flag is cleared. But it
does not account the time elapsed till the next application write.
Also the measurement only starts if the sender is still busy sending

This patch implements the skeleton of the TCP chronograph
instrumentation on sender side limits:
1) idle (unspec)
2) busy sending data other than 3-4 below
3) rwnd-limited
4) sndbuf-limited
The limits are enumerated 'tcp_chrono'. Since a connection in
theory can idle forever, we do not track the actual length of this
uninteresting idle period. For the rest we track how long the sender
spends in each limit. At any point during the life time of a
connection, the sender must be in one of the four states.
If there are multiple conditions worthy of tracking in a chronograph
then the highest priority enum takes precedence over
the other conditions. So that if something "more interesting"
starts happening, stop the previous chrono and start a new one.
The time unit is jiffy(u32) in order to save space in tcp_sock.
This implies application must sample the stats no longer than every
49 days of 1ms jiffy.

With TCP MTU probing enabled and offload TX checksumming disabled,

of skb_copy_and_csum_bits() to calculate the checksum, as it pads the
fragment being copied, if needed. When this fragment was not the last, a
subsequent call used the previous checksum without considering this
padding.

This patch generates data delivery rate (throughput) samples on a
per-ACK basis. These rate samples can be used by congestion control
modules, and specifically will be used by TCP BBR in later patches in
this series.
Key state:
tp->delivered: Tracks the total number of data packets (original or not)
delivered so far. This is an already-existing field.
tp->delivered_mstamp: the last time tp->delivered was updated.
Algorithm:
A rate sample is calculated as (d1 - d0)/(t1 - t0) on a per-ACK basis:
d1: the current tp->delivered after processing the ACK
t1: the current time after processing the ACK
d0: the prior tp->delivered when the acked skb was transmitted
t0: the prior tp->delivered_mstamp when the acked skb was transmitted
When an skb is transmitted, we snapshot d0 and t0 in its control
block in tcp_rate_skb_sent().
When an ACK arrives, it may SACK and ACK some skbs. For each SACKed
or ACKed skb, tcp_rate_skb_delivered() updates the rate_sample struct
to reflect the latest (d0, t0).
Finally, tcp_rate_gen() generates a rate sample by storing
(d1 - d0) in rs->delivered and (t1 - t0) in rs->interval_us.
One caveat: if an skb was sent with no packets in flight, then
tp->delivered_mstamp may be either invalid (if the connection is
starting) or outdated (if the connection was idle). In that case,
we'll re-stamp tp->delivered_mstamp.
At first glance it seems t0 should always be the time when an skb was
transmitted, but actually this could over-estimate the rate due to
phase mismatch between transmit and ACK events. To track the delivery
rate, we ensure that if packets are in flight then t0 and and t1 are
times at which packets were marked delivered.
If the initial and final RTTs are different then one may be corrupted
by some sort of noise. The noise we see most often is sending gaps
caused by delayed, compressed, or stretched acks. This either affects
both RTTs equally or artificially reduces the final RTT. We approach
this by recording the info we need to compute the initial RTT
(duration of the "send phase" of the window) when we recorded the
associated inflight. Then, for a filter to avoid bandwidth
overestimates, we generalize the per-sample bandwidth computation
from:
bw = delivered / ack_phase_rtt
to the following:
bw = delivered / max(send_phase_rtt, ack_phase_rtt)
In large-scale experiments, this filtering approach incorporating
send_phase_rtt is effective at avoiding bandwidth overestimates due to
ACK compression or stretched ACKs.

However, users with CAP_NET_ADMIN can use SO_RCVBUFFORCE
to set the socket's receive buffer size to values
larger than net.ipv4.tcp_rmem[2] and net.core.rmem_max.
Thus, SO_RCVBUFFORCE is effectively ignored by

Arjun reported a bug in TCP stack and bisected it to a recent commit.
In case where we process SACK, we can coalesce multiple skbs
into fat ones (tcp_shift_skb_data()), to lower write queue
overhead, because we do not expect to retransmit these packets.
However, SACK reneging can happen, forcing the sender to retransmit
all these packets. If skb->len is above 64KB, we then send buggy
IP packets that could hang TSO engine on cxgb4.
Neal suggested to use tcp_tso_autosize() instead of tp->gso_segs
so that we cook packets of optimal size vs TCP/pacing.

The nf_conntrack_core.c fix in 'net' is not relevant in 'net-next'
because we no longer have a per-netns conntrack hash.
The ip_gre.c conflict as well as the iwlwifi ones were cases of
overlapping changes.

In the very unlikely case __tcp_retransmit_skb() can not use the cloning
done in tcp_transmit_skb(), we need to refresh skb_mstamp before doing
the copy and transmit, otherwise TCP TS val will be an exact copy of
original transmit.

Hosts sending lot of ACK packets exhibit high sock_wfree() cost
because of cache line miss to test SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE
We could move this flag close to sk_wmem_alloc but it is better
to perform the atomic_sub_and_test() on a clean cache line,
as it avoid one extra bus transaction.
skb_orphan_partial() can also have a fast track for packets that either
are TCP acks, or already went through another skb_orphan_partial()

We want to to make TCP stack preemptible, as draining prequeue
and backlog queues can take lot of time.
Many SNMP updates were assuming that BH (and preemption) was disabled.
Need to convert some __NET_INC_STATS() calls to NET_INC_STATS()
and some __TCP_INC_STATS() to TCP_INC_STATS()
Before using this_cpu_ptr(net->ipv4.tcp_sk) in tcp_v4_send_reset()
and tcp_v4_send_ack(), we add an explicit preempt disabled section.

The SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set in skb_shinfo->tx_flags when
the timestamp of the TCP acknowledgement should be reported on
error queue. Since accessing skb_shinfo is likely to incur a
cache-line miss at the time of receiving the ack, the
txstamp_ack bit was added in tcp_skb_cb, which is set iff
the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set for an skb. This makes
SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag redundant.
Remove the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP and instead use the txstamp_ack bit
everywhere.
Note that this frees one bit in shinfo->tx_flags.
