In a later patch, the bpf prog only wants to be called to handle a header option if that particular header option cannot be handled by the kernel. This unknown option could be written by the peer's bpf-prog. It could also be a new standard option that the running kernel does not support it while a bpf-prog can handle it. This patch adds a "saw_unknown" bit to "struct tcp_options_received" and it uses an existing one byte hole to do that. "saw_unknown" will be set in tcp_parse_options() if it sees an option that the kernel cannot handle.

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.
