For receive-heavy cases on the server-side, we want to track the connection quality for individual client IPs. This counter, similar to the existing system-wide TCPOFOQueue counter in /proc/net/netstat, tracks out-of-order packet reception. By providing this counter in TCP_INFO, it will allow understanding to what degree receive-heavy sockets are experiencing out-of-order delivery and packet drops indicating congestion. Please note that this is similar to the counter in NetBSD TCP_INFO, and has the same name. Also note that we avoid increasing the size of the tcp_sock struct by taking advantage of a hole.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
