TCP stack makes sure packets for a given flow are monotically increasing, but we want to allow UDP packets to use EDT as well, so that QUIC servers can use in-kernel pacing. This patch adds a per-flow rb-tree on which packets might be stored. We still try to use the linear list for the typical cases where packets are queued with monotically increasing skb->tstamp, since queue/dequeue packets on a standard list is O(1). Note that the ability to store packets in arbitrary EDT order will allow us to implement later a per TCP socket mechanism adding delays (with jitter eventually) and reorders, to implement convenient network emulators.

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.
