DCCP was orphaned in 2021 by commit 054c4610bd05 ("MAINTAINERS: dccp:
move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"), which noted that the last maintainer
had been inactive for five years.
In recent years, it has become a playground for syzbot, and most changes
to DCCP have been odd bug fixes triggered by syzbot. Apart from that,
the only changes have been driven by treewide or networking API updates
or adjustments related to TCP.
Thus, in 2023, we announced we would remove DCCP in 2025 via commit
b144fcaf46d4 ("dccp: Print deprecation notice.").
Since then, only one individual has contacted the netdev mailing list. [0]
There is ongoing research for Multipath DCCP. The repository is hosted
on GitHub [1], and development is not taking place through the upstream
community. While the repository is published under the GPLv2 license,
the scheduling part remains proprietary, with a LICENSE file [2] stating:
"This is not Open Source software."
The researcher mentioned a plan to address the licensing issue, upstream
the patches, and step up as a maintainer, but there has been no further
communication since then.
Maintaining DCCP for a decade without any real users has become a burden.
Therefore, it's time to remove it.
Removing DCCP will also provide significant benefits to TCP. It allows
us to freely reorganize the layout of struct inet_connection_sock, which
is currently shared with DCCP, and optimize it to reduce the number of
cachelines accessed in the TCP fast path.
Note that we keep DCCP netfilter modules as requested. [3]

reset
When user tries to disconnect a socket and there are more data written
into tcp write queue, we should tell users about this reset reason.

Introducing a new type TCP_STATE to handle some reset conditions
appearing in RFC 793 due to its socket state. Actually, we can look
into RFC 9293 which has no discrepancy about this part.

We're going to send an RST due to invalid syn packet which is already
checked whether 1) it is in sequence, 2) it is a retransmitted skb.
As RFC 793 says, if the state of socket is not CLOSED/LISTEN/SYN-SENT,
then we should send an RST when receiving bad syn packet:
"fourth, check the SYN bit,...If the SYN is in the window it is an
error, send a reset"

There are two possible cases where TCP layer can send an RST. Since they
happen in the same place, I think using one independent reason is enough
to identify this special situation.

In this function, only updating the map can finish the job for socket
reset reason because the corresponding drop reasons are ready.

Reuse the dropreason logic to show the exact reason of tcp reset,
so we can finally display the corresponding item in enum sk_reset_reason
instead of reinventing new reset reasons. This patch replaces all
the prior NOT_SPECIFIED reasons.

Add a new standalone file for the easy future extension to support
both active reset and passive reset in the TCP/DCCP/MPTCP protocols.
This patch only does the preparations for reset reason mechanism,
nothing else changes.
The reset reasons are divided into three parts:
1) reuse drop reasons for passive reset in TCP
2) our own independent reasons which aren't relying on other reasons at all
3) reuse MP_TCPRST option for MPTCP
The benefits of a standalone reset reason are listed here:
1) it can cover more than one case, such as reset reasons in MPTCP,
active reset reasons.
2) people can easily/fastly understand and maintain this mechanism.
3) we get unified format of output with prefix stripped.
4) more new reset reasons are on the way
...
I will implement the basic codes of active/passive reset reason in
those three protocols, which are not complete for this moment. For
passive reset part in TCP, I only introduce the NO_SOCKET common case
which could be set as an example.
After this series applied, it will have the ability to open a new
gate to let other people contribute more reasons into it :)
