Hi Patrick,

The patch below adds supporting TCP simultaneous open to conntrack. The unused LISTEN state is replaced by a new state (SYN_SENT2) denoting the second SYN sent from the reply direction in the new case. The state table is updated and the function tcp_in_window is modified to handle simultaneous open.

The functionality can fairly easily be tested by socat. A sample tcpdump recording
...
and the corresponding netlink events:

    [NEW] tcp      6 120 SYN_SENT src=192.168.0.254 dst=192.168.0.1 sport=2020 dport=2020 [UNREPLIED] src=192.168.0.1 dst=192.168.0.254 sport=2020 dport=2020
 [UPDATE] tcp      6 120 LISTEN src=192.168.0.254 dst=192.168.0.1 sport=2020 dport=2020 src=192.168.0.1 dst=192.168.0.254 sport=2020 dport=2020
 [UPDATE] tcp      6 60 SYN_RECV src=192.168.0.254 dst=192.168.0.1 sport=2020 dport=2020 src=192.168.0.1 dst=192.168.0.254 sport=2020 dport=2020
 [UPDATE] tcp      6 432000 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.0.254 dst=192.168.0.1 sport=2020 dport=2020 src=192.168.0.1 dst=192.168.0.254 sport=2020 dport=2020 [ASSURED]

The RST packet was dropped in the raw table, thus it did not reach conntrack. nfnetlink_conntrack is unpatched so it shows the new SYN_SENT2 state as the old unused LISTEN.

With TCP simultaneous open support we satisfy REQ-2 in RFC 5382 ;-).

Additional minor correction in this patch is that in order to catch
uninitialized reply directions, "td_maxwin == 0" is used instead of
"td_end == 0" because the former can't be true except in uninitialized
state while td_end may accidentally be equal to zero in the mid of a
connection.

Thanks Jozsef. Just one question:

-	TCP_CONNTRACK_LISTEN,
+	TCP_CONNTRACK_SYN_SENT2,

is this constant already used in userspace? From your conntrack
output above I'd assume the answer is yes, so we should keep it
around as an alias to avoid compilation errors.
