Wei Wang 19f6d3f3c8 net/tcp-fastopen: Add new API support
This patch adds a new socket option, TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT, as an
alternative way to perform Fast Open on the active side (client). Prior
to this patch, a client needs to replace the connect() call with
sendto(MSG_FASTOPEN). This can be cumbersome for applications who want
to use Fast Open: these socket operations are often done in lower layer
libraries used by many other applications. Changing these libraries
and/or the socket call sequences are not trivial. A more convenient
approach is to perform Fast Open by simply enabling a socket option when
the socket is created w/o changing other socket calls sequence:
  s = socket()
    create a new socket
  setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT …);
    newly introduced sockopt
    If set, new functionality described below will be used.
    Return ENOTSUPP if TFO is not supported or not enabled in the
    kernel.

  connect()
    With cookie present, return 0 immediately.
    With no cookie, initiate 3WHS with TFO cookie-request option and
    return -1 with errno = EINPROGRESS.

  write()/sendmsg()
    With cookie present, send out SYN with data and return the number of
    bytes buffered.
    With no cookie, and 3WHS not yet completed, return -1 with errno =
    EINPROGRESS.
    No MSG_FASTOPEN flag is needed.

  read()
    Return -1 with errno = EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN if connect() is called but
    write() is not called yet.
    Return -1 with errno = EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN if connection is
    established but no msg is received yet.
    Return number of bytes read if socket is established and there is
    msg received.

The new API simplifies life for applications that always perform a write()
immediately after a successful connect(). Such applications can now take
advantage of Fast Open by merely making one new setsockopt() call at the time
of creating the socket. Nothing else about the application's socket call
sequence needs to change.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
