okay so bestie, welcome to irdma_handle_tcp_options, a little function from the Kernel API Manual that lives rent-free in the iRDMA connection-management corner of the kernel 💖 tl;dr: it sets up the TCP context info after the TCP options have been parsed. That's the whole vibe. That's the assignment. 🎀
