Add support for TIME_WAIT timeout.
This change adds explicit support for honoring the 2MSL timeout
for sockets in TIME_WAIT state. It also adds support for the
TCP_LINGER2 option that allows modification of the FIN_WAIT2
state timeout duration for a given socket.
It also adds an option to modify the Stack wide TIME_WAIT timeout
but this is only for testing. On Linux this is fixed at 60s.
Further, we also now correctly process RST's in CLOSE_WAIT and
close the socket similar to linux without moving it to error
state.
We also now handle SYN in ESTABLISHED state as per
RFC5961#section-4.1. Earlier we would just drop these SYNs.
Which can result in some tests that pass on linux to fail on
gVisor.
Netstack now honors TIME_WAIT correctly as well as handles the
following cases correctly.
- TCP RSTs in TIME_WAIT are ignored.
- A duplicate TCP FIN during TIME_WAIT extends the TIME_WAIT
and a dup ACK is sent in response to the FIN as the dup FIN
indicates potential loss of the original final ACK.
- An out of order segment during TIME_WAIT generates a dup ACK.
- A new SYN w/ a sequence number > the highest sequence number
in the previous connection closes the TIME_WAIT early and
opens a new connection.
Further to make the SYN case work correctly the ISN (Initial
Sequence Number) generation for Netstack has been updated to
be as per RFC. Its not a pure random number anymore and follows
the recommendation in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6528#page-3.
The current hash used is not a cryptographically secure hash
function. A separate change will update the hash function used
to Siphash similar to what is used in Linux.
