This change implements Accurate ECN without negotiation and AccECN Option (that will be added by later changes). Based on AccECN specifications: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-28.txt
Accurate ECN allows feeding back the number of CE (congestion experienced) marks accurately to the sender in contrast to RFC3168 ECN that can only signal one marks-seen-yes/no per RTT. Congestion control algorithms can take advantage of the accurate ECN information to fine-tune their congestion response to avoid drastic rate reduction when only mild congestion is encountered.
With Accurate ECN, tp->received_ce (r.cep in AccECN spec) keeps track of how many segments have arrived with a CE mark. Accurate ECN uses ACE field (ECE, CWR, AE) to communicate the value back to the sender which updates tp->delivered_ce (s.cep) based on the feedback. This signalling channel is lossy when ACE field overflow occurs.
Conservative strategy is selected here to deal with the ACE overflow, however, some strategies using the AccECN option later in the overall patchset mitigate against false overflows detected.
The ACE field values on the wire are offset by TCP_ACCECN_CEP_INIT_OFFSET. Delivered_ce/received_ce count the real CE marks rather than forcing all downstream users to adapt to the wire offset.
This patch uses the first 1-byte hole and the last 4-byte hole of the tcp_sock_write_txrx for 'received_ce_pending' and 'received_ce'. Below are the trimmed pahole outcomes before and after this patch.
