    net-tcp: Fast Open base · 2100c8d2
    Yuchung Cheng authored
    This patch impelements the common code for both the client and server.
    
    1. TCP Fast Open option processing. Since Fast Open does not have an
       option number assigned by IANA yet, it shares the experiment option
       code 254 by implementing draft-ietf-tcpm-experimental-options
       with a 16 bits magic number 0xF989. This enables global experiments
       without clashing the scarce(2) experimental options available for TCP.
    
       When the draft status becomes standard (maybe), the client should
       switch to the new option number assigned while the server supports
       both numbers for transistion.
    
    2. The new sysctl tcp_fastopen
    
    3. A place holder init function
