Merge branch 'improve-bpf-tcp-cc-init'
Neal Cardwell says: ==================== This patch series reorganizes TCP congestion control initialization so that if EBPF code called by tcp_init_transfer() sets the congestion control algorithm by calling setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) then the TCP stack initializes the congestion control module immediately, instead of having tcp_init_transfer() later initialize the congestion control module. This increases flexibility for the EBPF code that runs at connection establishment time, and simplifies the code. This has the following benefits: (1) This allows CC module customizations made by the EBPF called in tcp_init_transfer() to persist, and not be wiped out by a later call to tcp_init_congestion_control() in tcp_init_transfer(). (2) Does not flip the order of EBPF and CC init, to avoid causing bugs for existing code upstream that depends on the current order. (3) Does not cause 2 initializations for for CC in the case where the EBPF called in tcp_init_transfer() wants to set the CC to a new CC algorithm. (4) Allows follow-on simplifications to the code in net/core/filter.c and net/ipv4/tcp_cong.c, which currently both have some complexity to special-case CC initialization to avoid double CC initialization if EBPF sets the CC. changes in v2: o rebase onto bpf-next o add another follow-on simplification suggested by Martin KaFai Lau: "tcp: simplify tcp_set_congestion_control() load=false case" changes in v3: o no change in commits o resent patch series from @gmail.com, since mail from ncardwell@google.com stopped being accepted at netdev@vger.kernel.org mid-way through processing the v2 patch series (between patches 2 and 3), confusing patchwork about which patches belonged to the v2 patch series ==================== Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
