[PATCH v8 mptcp-next 0/9] 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.

This iteration introduces a few more fixes for pre-existing issues,
and keep the same trade-off as before: avoiding entirely the collapse
attempt on memory pressure. Collapsing allow faster transfer
(to be more accurate: less slow) under some extreme conditions, but
makes transfer slower and much more CPU intensive for less unlikely
conditions.

As a consequences `multi_chunk_sendfile` and `multiproc*` test cases in
mptcp_data *may* require longer timeout than default[1].

Patch 1 - 4 are actually fixes for pre-existing issues targeting net,
included here just for my convenience.

Patch 5 and 6 make the admission check much more strict for incoming
packets exceeding the memory limits, with some exception for fallback
sockets.
Patch 7 implements OoO queue pruning for MPTCP and patch 5
addresses an edge scenario that could still lead to transfer stall
under memory pressure.
Finally patch 8 and 9 improve the MPTCP-level retransmission schema to
make recovery from memory pressure/after MPTCP-level drop significantly
faster.

[1] In my testing on v8 mptcp_data survived a few hundred iterations
with the default timeout. Some independent testing would be appreciated.

v7 -> v8:
  - added patch 3 & 4
  - some change for patch 5 avoiding dumb optimizations that added
    complexity. this also allowed removing patch "mptcp: track prune
    recovery status"
  - address some of sashiko feedback

Paolo Abeni (9):
  mptcp: fix missing wakeups in edge scenarios
  mptcp: fix retransmission loop when csum is enabled
  mptcp: close TOCTOU race while computing rcv_wnd
  mptcp: allow subflow rcv wnd to shrink
  mptcp: explicitly drop over memory limits
  mptcp: enforce hard limit on backlog flushing
  mptcp: implemented OoO queue pruning
  mptcp: move the retrans loop to a separate helper
  mptcp: let the retrans scheduler do its job.
