[net-next-2.6 PATCH v7 5/7 RFC] TCPCT part 1e: implement socket option TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS

From: William Allen Simpson <hidden>
Date: 2009-11-20 14:48:20

Provide per socket control of the TCP cookie option and SYN/SYNACK data.

This is a straightforward re-implementation of an earlier (year-old)
patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original
author (Adam Langley):

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586

The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce,
instead of a user configured offset in the data.

Allocations have been rearranged to avoid requiring GFP_ATOMIC.

Requires:
   net: TCP_MSS_DEFAULT, TCP_MSS_DESIRED
   TCPCT part 1c: sysctl_tcp_cookie_size, socket option TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS
   TCPCT part 1d: define TCP cookie option, extend existing struct's
