[PATCH v3 mptcp-next 00/10] mptcp: address stall under memory pressure

[Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>]

This an attempt to fix the data transfer stall reported by Geliang and
Gang more carefully enforcing memory constraints at the MPTCP level.

Patch 1/10 moves the bound check before entering the TCP socket.
Patch 2, 3, 4 and 5 are cleanups/refactors finalized to safely re-using
TCP helpers on MPTCP skbs.
Patch 6 makes TCP pruning related helpers available to MPTCP and patch 7
makes use of them. Patch 8 addresses an edge scenario that could still
lead to transfer stall under memory pressure.
Finally patch 9 and 10 improve the MPTCP-level retransmission schema to
make recovery from memory pressure significanly faster.

Note that the diffstat is biases by the quite large patch 4/9, which
contains mechanical transformation of existing code; "real" changes are
noticiable smaller.

Tested successfully vs the test cases proposed by Geliang and Gang and
vs the selftests.
---
Some notes on each patch WRT ignored or false positive issues noticed
by sashiko so far.

Paolo Abeni (10):
  mptcp: move checks vs rcvbuf size earlier in the RX path
  mptcp: drop the mptcp_ooo_try_coalesce() helper
  mptcp: drop the cant_coalesce CB field
  mptcp: remove CB offset field
  mptcp: sync mptcp skb cb layout with tcp one
  tcp: expose the tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() helper to mptcp usage, too
  mptcp: implemented OoO queue pruning
  mptcp: track prune recovery status
  mptcp: move the retrans loop to a separate helper
  mptcp: let the retrans scheduler do its job.
