This series collects a few follow-up for the backlog refactor, with some
of them posing as fixes just to confuse the enemy.
Targeting net-next as the issues addressed are very old, the change
is quite invasive and, as mentioned, based on the BL refactor.
Overall this:
- introduces a tracepoint similar to tcp useful to track down the issues
addressed here
- avoid rx drop in corner case scenarios, improving tput stability and
peak tput over fast link
- refactor the rcv space and rtt estimator, overall making DRS more
correct and avoiding rcv buffer drifting to tcp_rmem[2], which in
turn makes the tput more stable and less bursty
Note that after this upstream series will be merged:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/user/todo/netdevbpf/?series=1025209
we want to introduce similar changes in mptcp, too.
I'm sorry for the high frequency spamming; trying to complete this
stuff before ENORESOURCES. Please ignore the previous 2 revisions.

v6 -> v7:
- re added the patches dropped in the last 2 iterations
v5 -> v6:
- dropped the buggy patch 3/5
v4 -> v5:
- dropped patch 4/6; it proved to be useless together with new version
of patch 4/5
- refactor rtt estimator: use sliding window instead of dropping "too
high" values
v3 -> v4:
- dropped already merged patch 1
- update comment in patch 6/6
v2 -> v3:
- use __entry->family in patch 1/7
- more verbose commit message for patch 6/7
v1 -> v2:
- new patch 1/7
- old patch 2/4 has been split in 3: 3/7, 4/7 and 5/7
- refactor both the rcv space init and rtt estimator
Paolo Abeni (6):
trace: mptcp: add mptcp_rcvbuf_grow tracepoint
mptcp: do not account for OoO in mptcp_rcvbuf_grow()
mptcp: fix receive space timestamp initialization.
mptcp: consolidate rcv space init
mptcp: better mptcp-level RTT estimator
mptcp: add receive queue awareness in tcp_rcv_space_adjust()
