[PATCH v2 net-next 06/14] tcp: accecn: handle unexpected AccECN negotiation feedback

From: <hidden>
Date: 2025-09-18 16:21:54
Also in: bpf, linux-doc, linux-kselftest
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Chia-Yu Chang <redacted>

According to Section 3.1.2 of AccECN spec (RFC9768), if a TCP Client
has sent a SYN requesting AccECN feedback with (AE,CWR,ECE) = (1,1,1)
then receives a SYN/ACK with the currently reserved combination
(AE,CWR,ECE) = (1,0,1) but it does not have logic specific to such a
combination, the Client MUST enable AccECN mode as if the SYN/ACK
confirmed that the Server supported AccECN and as if it fed back that
the IP-ECN field on the SYN had arrived unchanged.
