====================
tcp: Address issues with ECT0 not being set in DCTCP packets

This patch set is meant to address issues seen with SYN/ACK packets not
containing the ECT0 bit when DCTCP is configured as the congestion control
algorithm for a TCP socket.

A simple test using "tcpdump" and "test_progs -t bpf_tcp_ca" makes the
issue obvious. Looking at the packets will result in the SYN/ACK packet
with an ECT0 bit that does not match the other packets for the flow when
the congestion control agorithm is switch from the default. So for example
going from non-DCTCP to a DCTCP congestion control algorithm we will see
the SYN/ACK IPV6 header will not have ECT0 set while the other packets in
the flow will. Likewise if we switch from a default of DCTCP to cubic we
will see the ECT0 bit set in the SYN/ACK while the other packets in the
flow will not.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
