I haven't looked at the patches. The cover letter has no word on the use case.

The question was your _use case_ in bpf. Not what the TCP_RTO_MAX_MS does. Your
current use case is to have bpf setting it after reading the tcp header option,
like the selftest in patch 3?

Oops, I misunderstood the real situation of the tcp header option
test. My intention is to bpf_setsockopt() just like setget_sockopt
does.

Thanks for reminding me. I will totally remove the header test in the
next version.

If your use case was in the header, it is ok although it won't be the first

I was planning to add a simple test to only see if the rto max for bpf
feature works, so I found the rto min selftests and then did a similar
one.

useful place I have in my mind. Regardless, it is useful to say a few words
where you are planning to set it in the bpf. During a cb in sockops or during
socket create ...etc. Without it, we can only guess from the selftest :(

I see your point. After evaluating and comparing those two tests, I
think the setsock_opt is a better place to go. Do we even apply the
use of rto min to setsock_opt as well?

What do you think?

Adding to sol_tcp_tests[] as Kuniyuki suggested should be the straight forward way.

Please still describe how you are going to use it in bpf in the cover letter.






I will add and copy some words from Eric's patch series :)


I am targeting the net-next tree because of recent changes[1] made by
Eric. It probably hasn't merged into the bpf-next tree.

There is the bpf-next/net tree. It should have the needed changes.

[1] was recently merged in the net-next tree, so the only one branch I
can target is net-next.

[1]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git/commit/?id=ae9b3c0e79bc

Am I missing something?

There is a net branch:
                ^^^

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git

But this branch hasn't included the rto max feature. I was trying to

Which branch? I was talking about the **net** branch. Not the master branch. Try
to pull again if your local copy does not have it. The net branch should have
the TCP_RTO_MAX_MS patches.

Oh, I always use the master branch, never heard of net branch. You're
right, I checked out the net branch and then found it. Thanks.

One more thing I have to ask in advance is that in this case what the
title looks like? [patch bpf] or [patch bpf net]?
