When queueing a skb to socket, we can immediately release its dst if
target socket do not use IP_CMSG_PKTINFO.
tcp_data_queue() can drop dst too.
This to benefit from a hot cache line and avoid the receiver, possibly
on another cpu, to dirty this cache line himself.

Since commit 95766fff ([UDP]: Add memory accounting.),
each received packet needs one extra sock_lock()/sock_release() pair.
This added latency because of possible backlog handling. Then later,
ticket spinlocks added yet another latency source in case of DDOS.
This patch introduces lock_sock_bh() and unlock_sock_bh()
synchronization primitives, avoiding one atomic operation and backlog
processing.
skb_free_datagram_locked() uses them instead of full blown
lock_sock()/release_sock(). skb is orphaned inside locked section for
proper socket memory reclaim, and finally freed outside of it.
UDP receive path now take the socket spinlock only once.

This reverts two commits:
fda48a0d7a8412cedacda46a9c0bf8ef9cd13559
tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound
and a follow-on fix for it:
6443bb1fc2050ca2b6585a3fa77f7833b55329ed
ipv6: Fix inet6_csk_bind_conflict()
It causes problems with binding listening sockets when time-wait
sockets from a previous instance still are alive.
It's too late to keep fiddling with this so late in the -rc
series, and we'll deal with it in net-next-2.6 instead.

Current socket backlog limit is not enough to really stop DDOS attacks,
because user thread spend many time to process a full backlog each
round, and user might crazy spin on socket lock.
We should add backlog size and receive_queue size (aka rmem_alloc) to
pace writers, and let user run without being slow down too much.
Introduce a sk_rcvqueues_full() helper, to avoid taking socket lock in
stress situations.
Under huge stress from a multiqueue/RPS enabled NIC, a single flow udp
receiver can now process ~200.000 pps (instead of ~100 pps before the
patch) on a 8 core machine.

RFC 1122 says the following:
...
Keep-alive packets MUST only be sent when no data or
acknowledgement packets have been received for the
connection within an interval.
...
The acknowledgement packet is reseting the keepalive
timer but the data packet isn't. This patch fixes it by
checking the timestamp of the last received data packet
too when the keepalive timer expires.

Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to
be able to add rtnetlink interfaces to code that is not a real address family
without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.
This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables
as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table
without breaking compatibility.
This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing
rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to
that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values
above that may be used arbitrarily.

PPPoE traffic
The MTU for IP traffic encapsulated inside PPPoE traffic is smaller
than the MTU of the Ethernet device (1500). Connection tracking
gathers all IP packets and sometimes will refragment them in
ip_fragment(). We then need to subtract the length of the
encapsulating header from the mtu used in ip_fragment(). The check in
br_nf_dev_queue_xmit() which determines if ip_fragment() has to be
called is also updated for the PPPoE-encapsulated packets.
nf_bridge_copy_header() is also updated to make sure the PPPoE data
length field has the correct value.

Currently, the table traverser stores return addresses in the ruleset
itself (struct ip6t_entry->comefrom). This has a well-known drawback:
the jumpstack is overwritten on reentry, making it necessary for
targets to return absolute verdicts. Also, the ruleset (which might
be heavy memory-wise) needs to be replicated for each CPU that can
possibly invoke ip6t_do_table.
This patch decouples the jumpstack from struct ip6t_entry and instead
puts it into xt_table_info. Not being restricted by 'comefrom'
anymore, we can set up a stack as needed. By default, there is room
allocated for two entries into the traverser.
arp_tables is not touched though, because there is just one/two
modules and further patches seek to collapse the table traverser
anyhow.

This patch implements receive flow steering (RFS). RFS steers
received packets for layer 3 and 4 processing to the CPU where
the application for the corresponding flow is running. RFS is an
extension of Receive Packet Steering (RPS).
The basic idea of RFS is that when an application calls recvmsg
(or sendmsg) the application's running CPU is stored in a hash
table that is indexed by the connection's rxhash which is stored in
the socket structure. The rxhash is passed in skb's received on
the connection from netif_receive_skb. For each received packet,
the associated rxhash is used to look up the CPU in the hash table,
if a valid CPU is set then the packet is steered to that CPU using
the RPS mechanisms.
The convolution of the simple approach is that it would potentially
allow OOO packets. If threads are thrashing around CPUs or multiple
threads are trying to read from the same sockets, a quickly changing
CPU value in the hash table could cause rampant OOO packets--
we consider this a non-starter.
To avoid OOO packets, this solution implements two types of hash
tables: rps_sock_flow_table and rps_dev_flow_table.
rps_sock_table is a global hash table. Each entry is just a CPU
number and it is populated in recvmsg and sendmsg as described above.
This table contains the "desired" CPUs for flows.
rps_dev_flow_table is specific to each device queue. Each entry
contains a CPU and a tail queue counter. The CPU is the "current"
CPU for a matching flow. The tail queue counter holds the value
of a tail queue counter for the associated CPU's backlog queue at
the time of last enqueue for a flow matching the entry.
Each backlog queue has a queue head counter which is incremented
on dequeue, and so a queue tail counter is computed as queue head
count + queue length. When a packet is enqueued on a backlog queue,
the current value of the queue tail counter is saved in the hash
entry of the rps_dev_flow_table.
And now the trick: when selecting the CPU for RPS (get_rps_cpu)
the rps_sock_flow table and the rps_dev_flow table for the RX queue
are consulted. When the desired CPU for the flow (found in the
rps_sock_flow table) does not match the current CPU (found in the
rps_dev_flow table), the current CPU is changed to the desired CPU
if one of the following is true:
- The current CPU is unset (equal to RPS_NO_CPU)
- Current CPU is offline
- The current CPU's queue head counter >= queue tail counter in the
rps_dev_flow table. This checks if the queue tail has advanced
beyond the last packet that was enqueued using this table entry.
This guarantees that all packets queued using this entry have been
dequeued, thus preserving in order delivery.
Making each queue have its own rps_dev_flow table has two advantages:
1) the tail queue counters will be written on each receive, so
keeping the table local to interrupting CPU s good for locality. 2)
this allows lockless access to the table-- the CPU number and queue
tail counter need to be accessed together under mutual exclusion
from netif_receive_skb, we assume that this is only called from
device napi_poll which is non-reentrant.
This patch implements RFS for TCP and connected UDP sockets.
It should be usable for other flow oriented protocols.
There are two configuration parameters for RFS. The
"rps_flow_entries" kernel init parameter sets the number of
entries in the rps_sock_flow_table, the per rxqueue sysfs entry
"rps_flow_cnt" contains the number of entries in the rps_dev_flow
table for the rxqueue. Both are rounded to power of two.
The obvious benefit of RFS (over just RPS) is that it achieves
CPU locality between the receive processing for a flow and the
applications processing; this can result in increased performance
(higher pps, lower latency).
The benefits of RFS are dependent on cache hierarchy, application
load, and other factors. On simple benchmarks, we don't necessarily
see improvement and sometimes see degradation. However, for more
complex benchmarks and for applications where cache pressure is
much higher this technique seems to perform very well.
Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of
this patch. The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR
test with 1 byte req. and resp. The RPC test is an request/response
test similar in structure to netperf RR test ith 100 threads on
each host, but does more work in userspace that netperf.

This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances,
named "tables".
Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by
issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT_TABLE. The table number is
stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ipmr setsockopt(),
getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT_TABLE_DEFAULT)
is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pimreg
devices have the table number appended ("pimregX"), with the exception of
devices created in the default table, which are named just "pimreg" for
compatibility reasons.
Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules,
similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark
are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported
additionally.
Example usage:
- bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table:
uint32_t table = 123;
setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table));
- create routing rules directing packets to the new table:
# ip mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123
# ip mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123

With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this
work.
sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock)
This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst
entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU
again :)
This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers.
__sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if
socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check()
condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk))
This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets,
for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.

Back in commit 04a0551c87363f100b04d28d7a15a632b70e18e7
("loopback: Drop obsolete ip_summed setting") we stopped
setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in the loopback xmit.
This is because such a setting was a lie since it implies that the
checksum field of the packet is properly filled in.
Instead what happens normally is that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set and
skb->csum is calculated as needed.
But this was only happening for TCP data packets (via the
skb->ip_summed assignment done in tcp_sendmsg()). It doesn't
happen for non-data packets like ACKs etc.
Fix this by setting skb->ip_summed in the common non-data packet
constructor. It already is setting skb->csum to zero.
But this reminds us that we still have things like ip_output.c's
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() which sets skb->ip_summed to the value
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which Herbert's patch teaches us is not
valid. So we'll have to address that at some point too.

But this was only happening for TCP data packets (via the
skb->ip_summed assignment done in tcp_sendmsg()). It doesn't
happen for non-data packets like ACKs etc.
Fix this by setting skb->ip_summed in the common non-data packet
constructor. It already is setting skb->csum to zero.
But this reminds us that we still have things like ip_output.c's
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() which sets skb->ip_summed to the value
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which Herbert's patch teaches us is not
valid. So we'll have to address that at some point too.
