In commit be9f4a44e7d41 ("ipv4: tcp: remove per net tcp_sock")
I tried to address contention on a socket lock, but the solution
I chose was horrible :

commit 3a7c384ffd57e ("ipv4: tcp: unicast_sock should not land outside
of TCP stack") addressed a selinux regression.

commit 0980e56e506b ("ipv4: tcp: set unicast_sock uc_ttl to -1")
took care of another regression.

commit b5ec8eeac46 ("ipv4: fix ip_send_skb()") fixed another regression.

commit 811230cd85 ("tcp: ipv4: initialize unicast_sock sk_pacing_rate")
was another shot in the dark.

Really, just use a proper socket per cpu, and remove the skb_orphan()
call, to re-enable flow control.

This solves a serious problem with FQ packet scheduler when used in
hostile environments, as we do not want to allocate a flow structure
for every RST packet sent in response to a spoofed packet.

When I cooked commit c3658e8d0f1 ("tcp: fix possible NULL dereference in
tcp_vX_send_reset()") I missed other spots we could deref a NULL
skb_dst(skb)

Again, if a socket is provided, we do not need skb_dst() to get a
pointer to network namespace : sock_net(sk) is good enough.

After commit ca777eff51f7 ("tcp: remove dst refcount false sharing for
prequeue mode") we have to relax check against skb dst in
tcp_v[46]_send_reset() if prequeue dropped the dst.

If a socket is provided, a full lookup was done to find this socket,
so the dst test can be skipped.

<title>net: introduce SO_INCOMING_CPU</title>

Alternative to RPS/RFS is to use hardware support for multiple
queues.

Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each
one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool.

Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to
know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed.

We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly
set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet
is enough to solve the problem.

After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around
processes, applications can use :

 int cpu;
 socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu);

 getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &amp;cpu, &amp;len);

And use this information to put the socket into the right silo
for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run
on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

<title>tcp: move sk_mark_napi_id() at the right place</title>

sk_mark_napi_id() is used to record for a flow napi id of incoming
packets for busypoll sake.
We should do this only on established flows, not on listeners.

This was 'working' by virtue of the socket cloning, but doing
this on SYN packets in unecessary cache line dirtying.

Even if we move sk_napi_id in the same cache line than sk_lock,
we are working to make SYN processing lockless, so it is desirable
to set sk_napi_id only for established flows.

<title>net: fix saving TX flow hash in sock for outgoing connections</title>

<content type='text'>
The commit "net: Save TX flow hash in sock and set in skbuf on xmit"
introduced the inet_set_txhash() and ip6_set_txhash() routines to calculate
and record flow hash(sk_txhash) in the socket structure. sk_txhash is used
to set skb-&gt;hash which is used to spread flows across multiple TXQs.

But, the above routines are invoked before the source port of the connection
is created. Because of this all outgoing connections that just differ in the
source port get hashed into the same TXQ.

This patch fixes this problem for IPv4/6 by invoking the the above routines
after the source port is available for the socket.
