Jiayuan Chen 0427141112 tcp: add TCP_RFC7323_TW_PAWS drop reason
Devices in the networking path, such as firewalls, NATs, or routers, which
can perform SNAT or DNAT, use addresses from their own limited address
pools to masquerade the source address during forwarding, causing PAWS
verification to fail more easily.

Currently, packet loss statistics for PAWS can only be viewed through MIB,
which is a global metric and cannot be precisely obtained through tracing
to get the specific 4-tuple of the dropped packet. In the past, we had to
use kprobe ret to retrieve relevant skb information from
tcp_timewait_state_process().

We add a drop_reason pointer, similar to what previous commit does:
commit e34100c2ec ("tcp: add a drop_reason pointer to tcp_check_req()")

This commit addresses the PAWSESTABREJECTED case and also sets the
corresponding drop reason.

We use 'pwru' to test.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
