[ 3897.923145] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
 0000000000000080
[ 3897.931025] IP: [<ffffffffa9f27686>] reqsk_timer_handler+0x1a6/0x243

There is a race when reqsk_timer_handler() and tcp_check_req() call
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_unlink() on the same req at the same time.

Before commit fa76ce7328b2 ("inet: get rid of central tcp/dccp listener
timer"), listener spinlock was held and race could not happen.

To solve this bug, we change reqsk_queue_unlink() to not assume req
must be found, and we return a status, to conditionally release a
refcount on the request sock.

This also means tcp_check_req() in non fastopen case might or not
consume req refcount, so tcp_v6_hnd_req() & tcp_v4_hnd_req() have
to properly handle this.

(Same remark for dccp_check_req() and its callers)

inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() is now too big to be inlined, as it is
called 4 times in tcp and 3 times in dccp.

The ipv4 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check
for non-NULL pointer is done as x != NULL and sometimes as x. x is
preferred according to checkpatch and this patch makes the code
consistent by adopting the latter form.

No changes detected by objdiff.

This is a low hanging fruit, as we'll get rid of syn_wait_lock eventually.

We hold syn_wait_lock for such small sections, that it makes no sense to use
a read/write lock. A spin lock is simply faster.

listener can be source of false sharing. request sock has some
useful information like : ireq->ir_iif, ireq->ir_num, ireq->ireq_net

This patch does not solve the major problem of having to read
sk->sk_protocol which is sharing a cache line with sk->sk_wmem_alloc.
(This same field is read later in ip_build_and_send_pkt())

One idea would be to move sk_protocol close to sk_family
(using 8 bits instead of 16 for sk_family seems enough)

It is not needed, and req->sk_listener points to the listener anyway.
request_sock argument can be const.

Cache listen_sock_qlen() to limit false sharing, and read
rskq_defer_accept once as it might change under us.

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c
	net/core/sysctl_net_core.c
	net/ipv4/inet_diag.c

The be_main.c conflict resolution was really tricky.  The conflict
hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least.  It
split functions in half and moved them around, when the real actual
conflict only existed solely inside of one function, that being
be_map_pci_bars().

So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top
of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since
the last time I merged.  And this worked beautifully.

The inet_diag.c and sysctl_net_core.c conflicts were simple
overlapping changes, and were easily to resolve.

One of the major issue for TCP is the SYNACK rtx handling,
done by inet_csk_reqsk_queue_prune(), fired by the keepalive
timer of a TCP_LISTEN socket.

This function runs for awful long times, with socket lock held,
meaning that other cpus needing this lock have to spin for hundred of ms.

SYNACK are sent in huge bursts, likely to cause severe drops anyway.

This model was OK 15 years ago when memory was very tight.

We now can afford to have a timer per request sock.

Timer invocations no longer need to lock the listener,
and can be run from all cpus in parallel.

With following patch increasing somaxconn width to 32 bits,
I tested a listener with more than 4 million active request sockets,
and a steady SYNFLOOD of ~200,000 SYN per second.
Host was sending ~830,000 SYNACK per second.

This is ~100 times more what we could achieve before this patch.

Later, we will get rid of the listener hash and use ehash instead.

When request sock are put in ehash table, the whole notion
of having a previous request to update dl_next is pointless.

Also, following patch will get rid of big purge timer,
so we want to delete a request sock without holding listener lock.

It is not because a TCP listener is FastOpen ready that
all incoming sockets actually used FastOpen.

Avoid taking queue->fastopenq->lock if not needed.
