tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - support TFO listeners
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. Signed-off-by: H.K.

134/*
135 * This function is called to set a Fast Open socket's "fastopen_rsk" field
136 * to NULL when a TFO socket no longer needs to access the request_sock.
137 * This happens only after 3WHS has been either completed or aborted (e.g.,
138 * RST is received).
139 *
140 * Before TFO, a child socket is created only after 3WHS is completed,
141 * hence it never needs to access the request_sock. things get a lot more
142 * complex with TFO. A child socket, accepted or not, has to access its
143 * request_sock for 3WHS processing, e.g., to retransmit SYN-ACK pkts,
144 * until 3WHS is either completed or aborted. Afterwards the req will stay
145 * until either the child socket is accepted, or in the rare case when the
146 * listener is closed before the child is accepted.
147 *
148 * In short, a request socket is only freed after BOTH 3WHS has completed
149 * (or aborted) and the child socket has been accepted (or listener closed).
150 * When a child socket is accepted, its corresponding req->sk is set to
151 * NULL since it's no longer needed. More importantly, "req->sk == NULL"
152 * will be used by the code below to determine if a child socket has been
153 * accepted or not, and the check is protected by the fastopenq->lock
154 * described below.
155 *
156 * Note that fastopen_rsk is only accessed from the child socket's context
157 * with its socket lock held. But a request_sock (req) can be accessed by
158 * both its child socket through fastopen_rsk, and a listener socket through
159 * icsk_accept_queue.rskq_accept_head. To protect the access a simple spin
160 * lock per listener "icsk->icsk_accept_queue.fastopenq->lock" is created.
161 * only in the rare case when both the listener and the child locks are held,
162 * e.g., in inet_csk_listen_stop() do we not need to acquire the lock.
163 * The lock also protects other fields such as fastopenq->qlen, which is
164 * decremented by this function when fastopen_rsk is no longer needed.
165 *
166 * Note that another solution was to simply use the existing socket lock
167 * from the listener. But first socket lock is difficult to use. It is not
168 * a simple spin lock - one must consider sock_owned_by_user() and arrange
169 * to use sk_add_backlog() stuff. But what really makes it infeasible is the
170 * locking hierarchy violation. E.g., inet_csk_listen_stop() may try to
171 * acquire a child's lock while holding listener's socket lock. A corner
172 * case might also exist in tcp_v4_hnd_req() that will trigger this locking
173 * order.
174 *
175 * When a TFO req is created, it needs to sock_hold its listener to prevent
176 * the latter data structure from going away.
177 *
178 * This function also sets "treq->listener" to NULL and unreference listener
179 * socket. treq->listener is used by the listener so it is protected by the
180 * fastopenq->lock in this function.
