      tcp: temporarily disable Fast Open on SYN timeout · c968601d
      Yuchung Cheng authored
      Fast Open currently has a fall back feature to address SYN-data being
      dropped but it requires the middle-box to pass on regular SYN retry
      after SYN-data. This is implemented in commit aab48743 ("net-tcp:
      Fast Open client - detecting SYN-data drops")
      
      However some NAT boxes will drop all subsequent packets after first
      SYN-data and blackholes the entire connections.  An example is in
      commit 356d7d88 "netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix tcp_in_window for Fast
      Open".
      
      The sender should note such incidents and fall back to use the regular
      TCP handshake on subsequent attempts temporarily as well: after the
      second SYN timeouts the original Fast Open SYN is most likely lost.
      When such an event recurs Fast Open is disabled based on the number of
      recurrences exponentially.
