Enforcement of the accept queue limits is done by sonewconn() after the

connection request enters the SYN cache awaiting the full handshake. It
rather limits the effectiveness of the syncache by preventing legit and
illegit connections from entering it and having them shaken out before we
hit the real limit which may have vanished by then.

A logic error leading to a panic is fixed where syncache_expand() would

Instead of callout_reset(9) and callout_stop(9) the new function
tcp_timer_activate() is used which then internally manages the callout.
The single new callout is a mutex callout on inpcb simplifying the
locking a bit.
tcp_timer() is the called function which handles all race conditions
in one place and then dispatches the individual timer functions.

in the field. In one situation, one end of the TCP connection sends
a back-to-back RST packet, with delayed ack, the last_ack_sent variable
has not been update yet. When tcp_insecure_rst is turned off, the code
treats the RST as invalid because last_ack_sent instead of rcv_nxt is
compared against th_seq. Apparently there is some kind of firewall that
sits in between the two ends and that RST packet is the only RST
packet received. With short lived HTTP connections, the symptom is
a large accumulation of connections over a short period of time .
The +/-(1) factor is to take care of implementations out there that
generate RST packets with these types of sequence numbers. This
behavior has also been observed in live environments.

Normally the socket buffers are static (either derived from global
defaults or set with setsockopt) and do not adapt to real network
conditions. Two things happen: a) your socket buffers are too small
and you can't reach the full potential of the network between both
hosts; b) your socket buffers are too big and you waste a lot of
kernel memory for data just sitting around.
With automatic TCP send and receive socket buffers we can start with a
small buffer and quickly grow it in parallel with the TCP congestion
window to match real network conditions.
FreeBSD has a default 32K send socket buffer. This supports a maximal
transfer rate of only slightly more than 2Mbit/s on a 100ms RTT
trans-continental link. Or at 200ms just above 1Mbit/s. With TCP send
buffer auto scaling and the default values below it supports 20Mbit/s
at 100ms and 10Mbit/s at 200ms. That's an improvement of factor 10, or
1000%. For the receive side it looks slightly better with a default of
64K buffer size.
New sysctls are:
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_auto=1 (enabled)
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_inc=8192 (8K, step size)
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max=262144 (256K, growth limit)
net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_auto=1 (enabled)

functionality:
- Remove a rwlock aquisition/release per generated syncookie. Locking
is now integrated with the bucket row locking of syncache itself and
syncookies no longer add any additional lock overhead.
- Syncookie secrets are different for and stored per syncache buck row.
Secrets expire after 16 seconds and are reseeded on-demand.
- The computational overhead for syncookie generation and verification
is one MD5 hash computation as before.
- Syncache can be turned off and run with syncookies only by setting the
sysctl net.inet.tcp.syncookies_only=1.
This implementation extends the orginal idea and first implementation
of FreeBSD by using not only the initial sequence number field to store
information but also the timestamp field if present. This way we can
keep track of the entire state we need to know to recreate the session in
its original form. Almost all TCP speakers implement RFC1323 timestamps
these days. For those that do not we still have to live with the known
shortcomings of the ISN only SYN cookies. The use of the timestamp field
causes the timestamps to be randomized if syncookies are enabled.
The idea of SYN cookies is to encode and include all necessary information
about the connection setup state within the SYN-ACK we send back and thus
to get along without keeping any local state until the ACK to the SYN-ACK
arrives (if ever). Everything we need to know should be available from
the information we encoded in the SYN-ACK.
A detailed description of the inner working of the syncookies mechanism
is included in the comments in tcp_syncache.c.

as possible for the syncache_add() case. The syncache timer no longer
aquires the tcpinfo lock and timeout/retransmit runs can happen in
parallel with bucket granularity.
On a P4 the additional locks cause a slight degression of 0.7% in tcp
connections per second. When IP and TCP input are deserialized and
can run in parallel this little overhead can be neglected. The syncookie
handling still leaves room for improvement and its random salts may be
moved to the syncache bucket head structures to remove the second lock
operation currently required for it. However this would be a more
involved change from the way syncookies work at the moment.
