Yong-Hao Zou mentioned that linux was not strict as other OS in 3WHS,
for flows using TCP TS option (RFC 7323)
As hinted by an old comment in tcp_check_req(),
we can check the TSEcr value in the incoming packet corresponds
to one of the SYNACK TSval values we have sent.
In this patch, I record the oldest and most recent values
that SYNACK packets have used.
Send a challenge ACK if we receive a TSEcr outside
of this range, and increase a new SNMP counter.
nstat -az | grep TSEcrRejected
TcpExtTSEcrRejected 0 0.0
Due to TCP fastopen implementation, do not apply yet these checks
for fastopen flows.
v2: No longer use req->num_timeout, but treq->snt_tsval_first
to detect when first SYNACK is prepared. This means
we make sure to not send an initial zero TSval.
Make sure MPTCP and TCP selftests are passing.
Change MIB name to TcpExtTSEcrRejected
