[PATCH v12 net-next 10/15] tcp: accecn: unset ECT if receive or send ACE=0 in AccECN negotiaion

From: <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-28 14:35:05
Also in: bpf, linux-doc, linux-kselftest
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [tcp], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Neal Cardwell, Linus Torvalds

From: Chia-Yu Chang <redacted>

Based on specification:
  https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt

Based on Section 3.1.5 of AccECN spec (RFC9768), a TCP Server in
AccECN mode MUST NOT set ECT on any packet for the rest of the connection,
if it has received or sent at least one valid SYN or Acceptable SYN/ACK
with (AE,CWR,ECE) = (0,0,0) during the handshake.

In addition, a host in AccECN mode that is feeding back the IP-ECN
field on a SYN or SYN/ACK MUST feed back the IP-ECN field on the
latest valid SYN or acceptable SYN/ACK to arrive.

---
v12:
- Change AccECN fail flag setting to request socket

v10:
- Set AccECN error flag on request itself via tcp_rsk() to avoid
  changing directly on the listener

v8:
- Add new helper function tcp_accecn_ace_fail_send_set_retrans()

v6:
- Do not cast const struct request_sock into struct request_sock
- Set tcp_accecn_fail_mode after calling tcp_rtx_synack().
