[PATCH net 0/3] tcp: provide correct skb->priority

[Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>]

SO_PRIORITY socket option requests TCP egress packets
to contain a user provided value.

TCP manages to send most packets with the requested values,
notably for TCP_ESTABLISHED state, but fails to do so for
few packets.

These packets are control packets sent on behalf
of SYN_RECV or TIME_WAIT states.

Note that to test this with packetdrill, it is a bit
of a hassle, since packetdrill can not verify priority
of egress packets, other than indirect observations,
using for example sch_prio on its tunnel device.

The bad skb priorities cause problems for GCP,
as this field is one of the keys used in routing.

Eric Dumazet (3):
  ipv6: add priority parameter to ip6_xmit()
  ipv6: tcp: provide sk->sk_priority to ctl packets
  tcp: honor SO_PRIORITY in TIME_WAIT state
