Add IP_VS_SVC_F_SECURE_TCP to mark a virtual service for the DoS-hardened TCP connection state table, and IP_VS_CONN_F_SECURE_TCP to carry that capability on a connection so the TCP state machine can select the hardened table for it. The service flag is 0x0100: bits 0x0008/0x0010/0x0020 are the scheduler bits, so leave 0x0040/0x0080 free for schedulers. Set IP_VS_CONN_F_SECURE_TCP on every connection bound to a destination whose service carries IP_VS_SVC_F_SECURE_TCP. Signed-off-by: Adriano Cordova <redacted> --- Changes in v2: - Let IP_VS_SVC_F_SECURE_TCP be 0x0100, leaving 0x0040/0x0080 free for scheduler flags. - Let IP_VS_CONN_F_SECURE_TCP be (1 << 17) and drop it from IP_VS_CONN_F_BACKUP_MASK. - Set the flag in ip_vs_bind_dest() instead of at every ip_vs_conn_new() call site. Changes in v3: - Merge the uapi flag definition and the ip_vs_bind_dest() stamping into a single patch.
