This patch removes the net_random and net_srandom macros and replaces
them with direct calls to the prandom ones. As new commits only seem to
use prandom_u32 there is no use to keep them around.
This change makes it easier to grep for users of prandom_u32.

In commit 634fb979e8f ("inet: includes a sock_common in request_sock")
I forgot that the two ports in sock_common do not have same byte order :

skc_dport is __be16 (network order), but skc_num is __u16 (host order)

So sparse complains because ir_loc_port (mapped into skc_num) is
considered as __u16 while it should be __be16

Let rename ir_loc_port to ireq-&gt;ir_num (analogy with inet-&gt;inet_num),
and perform appropriate htons/ntohs conversions.

TCP listener refactoring, part 5 :

We want to be able to insert request sockets (SYN_RECV) into main
ehash table instead of the per listener hash table to allow RCU
lookups and remove listener lock contention.

This patch includes the needed struct sock_common in front
of struct request_sock

This means there is no more inet6_request_sock IPv6 specific
structure.

Following inet_request_sock fields were renamed as they became
macros to reference fields from struct sock_common.
Prefix ir_ was chosen to avoid name collisions.

loc_port   -&gt; ir_loc_port
loc_addr   -&gt; ir_loc_addr
rmt_addr   -&gt; ir_rmt_addr
rmt_port   -&gt; ir_rmt_port
iif        -&gt; ir_iif

TCP listener refactoring, part 2 :

We can use a generic lookup, sockets being in whatever state, if
we are sure all relevant fields are at the same place in all socket
types (ESTABLISH, TIME_WAIT, SYN_RECV)

This patch removes these macros :

 inet_addrpair, inet_addrpair, tw_addrpair, tw_portpair

And adds :

 sk_portpair, sk_addrpair, sk_daddr, sk_rcv_saddr

Then, INET_TW_MATCH() is really the same than INET_MATCH()

- Move sysctl_local_ports from a global variable into struct netns_ipv4.
- Modify inet_get_local_port_range to take a struct net, and update all
  of the callers.
- Move the initialization of sysctl_local_ports into
   sysctl_net_ipv4.c:ipv4_sysctl_init_net from inet_connection_sock.c

v2:
- Ensure indentation used tabs
- Fixed ip.h so it applies cleanly to todays net-next

v3:
- Compile fixes of strange callers of inet_get_local_port_range.
  This patch now successfully passes an allmodconfig build.
  Removed manual inlining of inet_get_local_port_range in ipv4_local_port_range

<title>tcp: Remove TCPCT</title>

TCPCT uses option-number 253, reserved for experimental use and should
not be used in production environments.
Further, TCPCT does not fully implement RFC 6013.

As a nice side-effect, removing TCPCT increases TCP's performance for
very short flows:

Doing an apache-benchmark with -c 100 -n 100000, sending HTTP-requests
for files of 1KB size.

before this patch:
	average (among 7 runs) of 20845.5 Requests/Second
after:
	average (among 7 runs) of 21403.6 Requests/Second

In e337e24d66 (inet: Fix kmemleak in tcp_v4/6_syn_recv_sock and
dccp_v4/6_request_recv_sock) I introduced the function
inet_csk_prepare_forced_close, which does a call to bh_unlock_sock().
This produces a sparse-warning.

This patch adds the missing __releases.

<title>hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators</title>

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj-&gt;member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Fix a reported compilation error where ia variable of type kuid_t
was being set to zero.

Eliminate two instances of setting tb-&gt;fastuid to zero.  tb-&gt;fastuid is
only used if tb-&gt;fastreuseport is set, so there should be no problem if
tb-&gt;fastuid is not initialized (when tb-&gt;fastreuesport is zero).

Allow multiple listener sockets to bind to the same port.

Motivation for soresuseport would be something like a web server
binding to port 80 running with multiple threads, where each thread
might have it's own listener socket.  This could be done as an
alternative to other models: 1) have one listener thread which
dispatches completed connections to workers. 2) accept on a single
listener socket from multiple threads.  In case #1 the listener thread
can easily become the bottleneck with high connection turn-over rate.
In case #2, the proportion of connections accepted per thread tends
to be uneven under high connection load (assuming simple event loop:
while (1) { accept(); process() }, wakeup does not promote fairness
among the sockets.  We have seen the  disproportion to be as high
as 3:1 ratio between thread accepting most connections and the one
accepting the fewest.  With so_reusport the distribution is
uniform.
