Commit c6cc1ca7f4d70c ("flowi: Abstract out functions to get flow hash
based on flowi") introduced a bug in __skb_set_sw_hash where we
require a dependency on evaluating arguments in a function in order.
There is no such ordering enforced in C, so this incorrect. This
patch fixes that by splitting out the arguments. This bug was
found via a compiler warning that keys may be uninitialized.

The flags argument will allow control of the dissection process (for
instance whether to parse beyond L3).

Create __get_hash_from_flowi6 and __get_hash_from_flowi4 to get the
flow keys and hash based on flowi structures. These are called by
__skb_get_hash_flowi6 and __skb_get_hash_flowi4. Also, created
get_hash_from_flowi6 and get_hash_from_flowi4 which can be called
when just the hash value for a flowi is needed.

Move __skb_set_sw_hash to skbuff.h and add __skb_set_hash which is
a common method (between __skb_set_sw_hash and skb_set_hash) to set
the hash in an skbuff.

Also, move skb_clear_hash to be closer to __skb_set_hash.

<title>mm: make page pfmemalloc check more robust</title>

Commit c48a11c7ad26 ("netvm: propagate page-&gt;pfmemalloc to skb") added
checks for page-&gt;pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc():

        if (page-&gt;pfmemalloc &amp;&amp; !page-&gt;mapping)
                skb-&gt;pfmemalloc = true;

It assumes page-&gt;mapping == NULL implies that page-&gt;pfmemalloc can be
trusted.  However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page-&gt;mapping
to NULL and leave page-&gt;index value alone.  Due to being in union, a
non-zero page-&gt;index will be interpreted as true page-&gt;pfmemalloc.

So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page.
And it seems it can.  We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback
setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf.  There is no copying
going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which
interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops
packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to
be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and
that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the
server which has been dropped and thus never arrive.

The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another
hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead.  We can reuse the index
again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL).  This is the page
index so it should never see the value that large.  Replace all direct
users of page-&gt;pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this
nastiness from unspoiled eyes.

The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page-&gt;index
obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected
that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is
really needed (e.g.  what SLAB and SLUB do).
