IPVS currently exposes secure_tcp as a per-netns sysctl. It switches the
TCP state machine to the hardened tcp_states_dos table.

These patches make it per-service: a virtual service can set
IP_VS_SVC_F_SECURE_TCP which is passed into IP_VS_CONN_F_SECURE_TCP at
connection creation. set_tcp_state() then selects tcp_states_dos for those
connections with IP_VS_CONN_F_SECURE_TCP set and keeps pd->tcp_state_table
(the netns default, including the nomem floor) otherwise.

The flag is part of BACKUP_MASK, so it is preserved on sync to backups.

  1. uapi: define the per-service secure_tcp flags
  2. carry the flag on every connection-creation path (scheduler,
     persistence, RS-initiated, cache-bypass) and on FTP data channels
  3. honor it in the TCP state machine, resolving the stale FIXME
  4. kselftest contrasting a secure vs. a plain service.

Not sure about patch 4... could be dropped or absorbed into ipvs.sh

Adriano Cordova (4):
  ipvs: add flags for per-service secure TCP state table
  ipvs: stamp per-service secure_tcp on new connections
  ipvs: tcp: enable per-connection secure_tcp in state machine
  selftests: netfilter: ipvs: add per-service secure_tcp test
