Yuchung Cheng e21db6f69a tcp: track total bytes delivered with ECN CE marks
Introduce a new delivered_ce stat in tcp socket to estimate
number of packets being marked with CE bits. The estimation is
done via ACKs with ECE bit. Depending on the actual receiver
behavior, the estimation could have biases.

Since the TCP sender can't really see the CE bit in the data path,
so the sender is technically counting packets marked delivered with
the "ECE / ECN-Echo" flag set.

With RFC3168 ECN, because the ECE bit is sticky, this count can
drastically overestimate the nummber of CE-marked data packets

With DCTCP-style ECN this should be reasonably precise unless there
is loss in the ACK path, in which case it's not precise.

With AccECN proposal this can be made still more precise, even in
the case some degree of ACK loss.

However this is sender's best estimate of CE information.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
