Kuniyuki Iwashima 23e89e8ee7 tcp: Don't drop SYN+ACK for simultaneous connect().
RFC 9293 states that in the case of simultaneous connect(), the connection
gets established when SYN+ACK is received. [0]

      TCP Peer A                                       TCP Peer B

  1.  CLOSED                                           CLOSED
  2.  SYN-SENT     --> <SEQ=100><CTL=SYN>              ...
  3.  SYN-RECEIVED <-- <SEQ=300><CTL=SYN>              <-- SYN-SENT
  4.               ... <SEQ=100><CTL=SYN>              --> SYN-RECEIVED
  5.  SYN-RECEIVED --> <SEQ=100><ACK=301><CTL=SYN,ACK> ...
  6.  ESTABLISHED  <-- <SEQ=300><ACK=101><CTL=SYN,ACK> <-- SYN-RECEIVED
  7.               ... <SEQ=100><ACK=301><CTL=SYN,ACK> --> ESTABLISHED

However, since commit 0c24604b68 ("tcp: implement RFC 5961 4.2"), such a
SYN+ACK is dropped in tcp_validate_incoming() and responded with Challenge
ACK.

For example, the write() syscall in the following packetdrill script fails
with -EAGAIN, and wrong SNMP stats get incremented.

   0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_NONBLOCK, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
  +0 connect(3, ..., ...) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)

  +0 > S  0:0(0) <mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 1000 ecr 0,nop,wscale 8>
  +0 < S  0:0(0) win 1000 <mss 1000>
  +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 3308134035 ecr 0,nop,wscale 8>
  +0 < S. 0:0(0) ack 1 win 1000

  +0 write(3, ..., 100) = 100
  +0 > P. 1:101(100) ack 1

  --

  # packetdrill cross-synack.pkt
  cross-synack.pkt:13: runtime error in write call: Expected result 100 but got -1 with errno 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable)
  # nstat
  ...
  TcpExtTCPChallengeACK           1                  0.0
  TcpExtTCPSYNChallenge           1                  0.0

The problem is that bpf_skops_established() is triggered by the Challenge
ACK instead of SYN+ACK.  This causes the bpf prog to miss the chance to
check if the peer supports a TCP option that is expected to be exchanged
in SYN and SYN+ACK.

Let's accept a bare SYN+ACK for active-open TCP_SYN_RECV sockets to avoid
such a situation.

Note that tcp_ack_snd_check() in tcp_rcv_state_process() is skipped not to
send an unnecessary ACK, but this could be a bit risky for net.git, so this
targets for net-next.

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.
