net: tcp: more detailed ACK events and events for CE marked packets
DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) determines cwnd growth based on ECN information and ACK properties, e.g. ACK that updates window is treated differently than DUPACK. Also DCTCP needs information whether ACK was delayed ACK. Furthermore, DCTCP also implements a CE state machine that keeps track of CE markings of incoming packets. Therefore, extend the congestion control framework to provide these event types, so that DCTCP can be properly implemented as a normal congestion algorithm module outside of the core stack. Joint work with Daniel Borkmann and Glenn Judd.
