Previously code had IsReno/IsFack defined as macros that were
local to tcp_input.c though sack_ok field has user elsewhere too
for the same purpose. This changes them to static inlines as
preferred according the current coding style and unifies the
access to sack_ok across multiple files. Magic bitops of sack_ok
for FACK and DSACK are also abstracted to functions with
appropriate names.
Note:
- One sack_ok = 1 remains but that's self explanary, i.e., it
enables sack
- Couple of !IsReno cases are changed to tcp_is_sack
- There were no users for IsDSack => I dropped it

Left_out was dropped a while ago, thus leaving verifying
consistency of the "left out" as only task for the function in
question. Thus make it's name more appropriate.
In addition, it is intentionally converted to #define instead
of static inline because the location of the invariant failure
is the most important thing to have if this ever triggers. I
think it would have been helpful e.g. in this case where the
location of the failure point had to be based on some quesswork:

For the cases that slow_start_after_idle are meant to deal
with, it is almost a certainty that the congestion window
tests will think the connection is application limited and
we'll thus decrease the cwnd there too. This defeats the
whole point of setting slow_start_after_idle to zero.
So test it there too.
We do not cancel out the entire tcp_cwnd_validate() function
so that if the sysctl is changed we still have the validation
state maintained.

TCP may advertize up to 16-bits window in SYN packets (no window
scaling allowed). At the same time, TCP may have rcv_wnd
(32-bits) that does not fit to 16-bits without window scaling
resulting in pseudo garbage into advertized window from the
low-order bits of rcv_wnd. This can happen at least when
mss <= (1<<wscale) (see tcp_select_initial_window). This patch
fixes the handling of SYN advertized windows (compile tested
only).
In worst case (which is unlikely to occur though), the receiver
advertized window could be just couple of bytes. I'm not sure
that such situation would be handled very well at all by the
receiver!? Fortunately, the situation normalizes after the
first non-SYN ACK is received because it has the correct,
scaled window.
Alternatively, tcp_select_initial_window could be changed to
prevent too large rcv_wnd in the first place.
[ tcp_make_synack() has the same bug, and I've added a fix for
that to this patch -DaveM ]

This patch limits the amount of time you will defer sending a TSO segment
to less than two clock ticks, or the time between two acks, whichever is
longer.
On slow links, deferring causes significant bursts. See attached plots,
which show RTT through a 1 Mbps link with a 100 ms RTT and ~100 ms queue
for (a) non-TSO, (b) currnet TSO, and (c) patched TSO. This burstiness
causes significant jitter, tends to overflow queues early (bad for short
queues), and makes delay-based congestion control more difficult.
Deferring by a couple clock ticks I believe will have a relatively small
impact on performance.

This patch generalises the TSO-specific bits from sk_setup_caps by adding
the sk_gso_type member to struct sock. This makes sk_setup_caps generic
so that it can be used by TCPv6 or UFO.
The only catch is that whoever uses this must provide a GSO implementation
for their protocol which I think is a fair deal :) For now UFO continues to
live without a GSO implementation which is OK since it doesn't use the sock
caps field at the moment.

In the current TSO implementation, NETIF_F_TSO and ECN cannot be
turned on together in a TCP connection. The problem is that most
hardware that supports TSO does not handle CWR correctly if it is set
in the TSO packet. Correct handling requires CWR to be set in the
first packet only if it is set in the TSO header.
This patch adds the ability to turn on NETIF_F_TSO and ECN using
GSO if necessary to handle TSO packets with CWR set. Hardware
that handles CWR correctly can turn on NETIF_F_TSO_ECN in the dev->
features flag.
All TSO packets with CWR set will have the SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN set. If
the output device does not have the NETIF_F_TSO_ECN feature set, GSO
will split the packet up correctly with CWR only set in the first
segment.
With help from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>.
Since ECN can always be enabled with TSO, the SOCK_NO_LARGESEND sock
flag is completely removed.

Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP). So
let's merge them.
They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been
subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev
feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
field.
I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type
(e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would
have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need
to be emulated in software.

Trimming the head of an skb by calling skb_pull can cause the packet
to become unaligned if the length pulled is odd. Since the length is
entirely arbitrary for a FIN packet carrying data, this is actually
quite common.
Unaligned data is not the end of the world, but we should avoid it if
it's easily done. In this case it is trivial. Since we're discarding
all of the head data it doesn't matter whether we move skb->data forward
or back.
However, it is still possible to have unaligned skb->data in general.
So network drivers should be prepared to handle it instead of crashing.
This patch also adds an unlikely marking on len < headlen since partial
ACKs on head data are extremely rare in the wild. As the return value
of __pskb_trim_head is no longer ever NULL that has been removed.

There is a problem with the TSO packet trimming code. The cause of
this lies in the tcp_fragment() function.
When we allocate a fragment for a completely non-linear packet the
truesize is calculated for a payload length of zero. This means that
truesize could in fact be less than the real payload length.
When that happens the TSO packet trimming can cause truesize to become
negative. This in turn can cause sk_forward_alloc to be -n * PAGE_SIZE
which would trigger the warning.
I've copied the code DaveM used in tso_fragment which should work here.
