[TCP]: Export accept queue len of a TCP listening socket via rx_queue
While debugging a TCP server hang issue, we noticed that currently there is no way for a user to get the acceptq backlog value for a TCP listen socket. All the standard networking utilities that display socket info like netstat, ss and /proc/net/tcp have 2 fields called rx_queue and tx_queue. These fields do not mean much for listening sockets. This patch uses one of these unused fields(rx_queue) to export the accept queue len for listening sockets. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
