Prior to this patch, active Fast Open is paused on a specific destination IP address if the previous connections to the IP address have experienced recurring timeouts . But recent experiments by Microsoft (https://goo.gl/cykmn7) and Mozilla browsers indicate the isssue is often caused by broken middle-boxes sitting close to the client. Therefore it is much better user experience if Fast Open is disabled out-right globally to avoid experiencing further timeouts on connections toward other destinations. This patch changes the destination-IP disablement to global disablement if a connection experiencing recurring timeouts or aborts due to timeout. Repeated incidents would still exponentially increase the pause time, starting from an hour. This is extremely conservative but an unfortunate compromise to minimize bad experience due to broken middle-boxes.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
