BPF_SOCK_OPS_RWND_INIT lets a sockops BPF program pick the initial TCP
receive window, e.g. to advertise a larger window up front in environments
where that is known to be safe. Today it is only effective for the passive
(listener) side; on the active (connect) side the value is computed and
then silently discarded.
On the passive path tcp_openreq_init_rwin() inflates full_space when the
program returns a non-zero window, so tcp_select_initial_window() can offer
it:
else if (full_space < (u64)rcv_wnd * mss)
full_space = min_t(u64, (u64)rcv_wnd * mss, INT_MAX);
tcp_select_initial_window() only clamps the requested window *down* to the
available space, so without inflating the space first the BPF reply can
never raise the offered window above tcp_full_space(sk).
tcp_connect_init() calls tcp_rwnd_init_bpf() but never inflates full_space,
so on connect() the requested window is clamped back to tcp_full_space(sk)
(~64KB at the default rcvbuf) and the program's value is ignored.
Inflate full_space in tcp_connect_init() as well; tp->advmss is the mss the
listener path uses (both are tcp_mss_clamp(tp, dst_metric_advmss(dst))).
Read full_space after tcp_rwnd_init_bpf() so a program that also adjusts
SO_RCVBUF is still reflected. Compute the inflated value in u64 and clamp
to INT_MAX to avoid overflow (full_space is int, rcv_wnd is u32), and
apply the same overflow fix to the existing listener-side computation.

v2:
- Do the inflated full_space arithmetic in u64 and clamp to INT_MAX to
avoid overflow, and apply the same fix to the existing listener path
in tcp_openreq_init_rwin().
- Read full_space after tcp_rwnd_init_bpf() so a program that also raises
SO_RCVBUF via bpf_setsockopt() is reflected in the offered window.
- Re-ran the sockops BPF/RWND functional test and the full in-tree
packetdrill regression suite on the revised code (details below).
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260722170033.2763794-1-tejasbirajdar@meta.com/
Functional test: a cgroup sockops BPF program returning
skops->reply = N for BPF_SOCK_OPS_RWND_INIT was attached to the
connecting socket and driven with packetdrill on the active-open
(connect) path (advmss 1460, negotiated wscale 8). The offered window on
the first post-handshake ACK now tracks the requested value:
req_segs offered window (bytes) = req_segs * advmss
256 373760
1024 1495040 (~1.43 MB)
4096 5980160 (~5.7 MB)
Without an attached program the window stays at the default (~262 KB);
before this patch the requested value was discarded on connect() and the
default was advertised regardless.
Regression: the in-tree tools/testing/selftests/net/packetdrill suite
(471 test cases across ipv4/ipv6/ipv4-mapped-ipv6) was run under
virtme-ng on this commit and on its parent; both produce an identical
pass/fail set, so this patch introduces no newly failing tests.
