Cover letter [PATCH net-next 0/5] tcp: Introduce a TFO key-pool for clean cookie-rotation
Currently, TFO only allows a single TFO-secret. This means that whenever the secret gets changed for key-rotation purposes, all the previously issued TFO-cookies become invalid. This means that clients will fallback to "regular" TCP, incurring a cost of one additional round-trip.
This patchset introduces a TFO key-pool that allows to more gracefully change the key. The size of the pool is 2 (this could be changed in the future through a sysctl if needed). When a client connects with an "old" TFO cookie, the server will now accept the data in the SYN and at the same time announce a new TFO-cookie to the client.
We have seen a significant reduction of LINUX_MIB_TCPFASTOPENPASSIVEFAIL thanks to these patches. Invalid cookies are now solely observed when clients behind a NAT are getting a new public IP.
