PATCH RESEND 2/3 TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - dont retxmt synack

commit 95dea62ad7004a1de84e1f38c1b5243e1cb0d554

Author: Patrick McManus <[email protected]>
Date:   Sat Feb 23 15:59:22 2008 -0500

a socket in LISTEN that had completed its 3 way handshake, but not notified userspace because of SO_DEFER_ACCEPT, would retransmit the already acked syn-ack during the time it was waiting for the first data byte from the peer.

PATCH RESEND 3/3 TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established

In reply to a message not in the archive

commit 4a234b7dd1a5144fe5630f1b0739e3c8c28de2ed

Author: Patrick McManus <[email protected]>
Date:   Sun Mar 2 16:52:37 2008 -0500

Change TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT implementation so that it transitions a connection to ESTABLISHED after handshake is complete instead of leaving it in SYN-RECV until some data arrvies. Place connection in accept queue when first data packet arrives from slow path.

Benefits:
- established connection is now reset if it never makes it to the accept queue

- diagnostic state of established matches with the packet traces showing completed handshake

- TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT timeouts are expressed in seconds and can now be enforced with reasonable accuracy instead of rounding up to next exponential back-off of syn-ack retry.

Re: [PATCH 3/3 (spin 2) resend] TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established

This looks wrong. Are you sure you're resending the correct patch?

The most uptodate version was "spin 3" in which you incorporated coding style and checkpatch.pl fixes as recommended by Ilpo.

Re: [PATCH 3/3 (spin 2) resend] TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established

David,

Thanks for the note - it can be hard to tell patch latency apart from the drops.

You caught a mistake with the subject line - that patch was indeed spin #3 - it was the exact same diff as I sent on March 6.
