[PATCH net-next v3 4/4] selftests/net: packetdrill: add TCP MTU probing test

[Yongjian Wang via B4 Relay]

From: Yongjian Wang <echoowall@xxxxxxxxx>

Packetization layer path MTU discovery (net.ipv4.tcp_mtu_probing=2) has
no selftest coverage.

Add a test for an active connection. Check that it starts at
tcp_base_mss, that it sends the first probe half way between
tcp_base_mss and the peer's MSS once cwnd allows it, and that an
acknowledged probe raises the MSS and leads to a larger probe.

The SYN offers timestamps and the scripted SYN-ACK declines them.
This also checks that MTU probing uses the negotiated header length
for the initial send MSS.
