[PATCH bpf-next] tcp: bpf: Add TCP_BPF_RCV_SSTHRESH for bpf_setsockopt

From: Ivan Babrou
Date: Tue Jan 11 2022 - 14:29:59 EST


This patch adds bpf_setsockopt(TCP_BPF_RCV_SSTHRESH) to allow setting
rcv_ssthresh value for TCP connections. Combined with increased
window_clamp via tcp_rmem[1], it allows to advertise initial scaled
TCP window larger than 64k. This is useful for high BDP connections,
where it allows to push data with fewer roundtrips, reducing latency.

For active connections the larger window is advertised in the first
non-SYN ACK packet as the part of the 3 way handshake.

For passive connections the larger window is advertised whenever
there's any packet to send after the 3 way handshake.
