Hi Eric,

I wonder if you have time to provide review regarding my last update to the patch.

Sorry, your patches did not reach me. Can you resend them, adding

"Eric Dumazet [off-list ref]"  address to make sure I can catch 
them ?


Thanks !

Hi Eric,

I've sent v2 of the patch. I've removed confusing part with sysctl default values
and made other changes according to your comments. I look forward for your
review.

As it was shown in the report by Alexander Azimov, hash rethink at the
client-side may lead to connection timeout toward stateful anycast
services. Tom Herbert created a patchset to address this issue by applying
hash rethink only after a negative routing event (3RTOs) [1]. This change
also affects server-side behavior, which we found undesirable. This
patchset changes defaults in a way to make them safe: hash rethink at the
client-side is disabled and enabled at the server-side upon each RTO
event or in case of duplicate acknowledgments.

This patchset provides two options to change default behaviour. The hash
rethink may be disabled at the server-side by the new sysctl option.
Changes in the sysctl option don't affect default behavior at the
client-side.

Hash rethink can also be enabled/disabled with socket option or bpf
syscalls which ovewrite both default and sysctl settings. This socket
option is available on both client and server-side. This should provide
mechanics to enable hash rethink inside administrative domain, such as DC,
where hash rethink at the client-side can be desirable.

v2:
	- Changed sysctl default to ENABLED in all patches. Reduced sysctl
	  and socket option size to u8. Fixed netns bug reported by kernel
	  test robot.

Akhmat Karakotov (4):
txhash: Make rethinking txhash behavior configurable via sysctl
txhash: Add socket option to control TX hash rethink behavior
bpf: Add SO_TXREHASH setsockopt
tcp: change SYN ACK retransmit behaviour to account for rehash
