The ipv6 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check for 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.

Try to reduce number of possible fn_sernum mutation by constraining them
to their namespace.

Also remove rt_genid which I forgot to remove in 705f1c869d577c ("ipv6:
remove rt6i_genid").

ipv6_opt_accepted() assumes IP6CB(skb) holds the struct inet6_skb_parm
that it needs. Lets not assume this, as TCP stack might use a different
place.

This patch makes no changes to the logic of the code but simply addresses
coding style issues as detected by checkpatch.

Both objdump and diff -w show no differences.

A number of items are addressed in this patch:
* Multiple spaces converted to tabs
* Spaces before tabs removed.
* Spaces in pointer typing cleansed (char *)foo etc.
* Remove space after sizeof
* Ensure spacing around comparators such as if statements.

<title>ipv6: Implement automatic flow label generation on transmit</title>

<id>cb1ce2ef387b01686469487edd45994872d52d73</id>
<content type='text'>
Automatically generate flow labels for IPv6 packets on transmit.
The flow label is computed based on skb_get_hash. The flow label will
only automatically be set when it is zero otherwise (i.e. flow label
manager hasn't set one). This supports the transmit side functionality
of RFC 6438.

Added an IPv6 sysctl auto_flowlabels to enable/disable this behavior
system wide, and added IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket option to enable this
functionality per socket.

By default, auto flowlabels are disabled to avoid possible conflicts
with flow label manager, however if this feature proves useful we
may want to enable it by default.

It should also be noted that FreeBSD has already implemented automatic
flow labels (including the sysctl and socket option). In FreeBSD,
automatic flow labels default to enabled.

Performance impact:

Running super_netperf with 200 flows for TCP_RR and UDP_RR for
IPv6. Note that in UDP case, __skb_get_hash will be called for
every packet with explains slight regression. In the TCP case
the hash is saved in the socket so there is no regression.

Automatic flow labels disabled:

  TCP_RR:
    86.53% CPU utilization
    127/195/322 90/95/99% latencies
    1.40498e+06 tps

  UDP_RR:
    90.70% CPU utilization
    118/168/243 90/95/99% latencies
    1.50309e+06 tps

Automatic flow labels enabled:

  TCP_RR:
    85.90% CPU utilization
    128/199/337 90/95/99% latencies
    1.40051e+06

  UDP_RR
    92.61% CPU utilization
    115/164/236 90/95/99% latencies

<content type='text'>
When an UDP application switches from AF_INET to AF_INET6 sockets, we
have a small performance degradation for IPv4 communications because of
extra cache line misses to access ipv6only information.

This can also be noticed for TCP listeners, as ipv6_only_sock() is also
used from __inet_lookup_listener()-&gt;compute_score()

This is magnified when SO_REUSEPORT is used.

Move ipv6only into struct sock_common so that it is available at
no extra cost in lookups.
