Subject: [PATCH] allow to configure tcp_retries1 and tcp_retries2 per TCP
 socket

Hi,

The included patch adds support for setting the tcp_retries1 and
tcp_retries2 options in a per socket fashion as it is done for the
keepalive options TCP_KEEPIDLE, TCP_KEEPCNT and TCP_KEEPINTVL.

The issue I am trying to solve is that when a socket has data queued for
delivering, the keepalive logic is not triggered. Instead, the
tcp_retries1/2 parameters are used to determine how many delivering
attempts should be performed before giving up.

The patch is very straight forward and just replicates similar
functionality. There is one thing I am not completely sure and is if the
new per-socket fields should go into inet_connection_sock instead of
into tcp_sock.

Regards
