FLOWI_FLAG_CAN_SLEEP was used to notify xfrm about the posibility
to sleep until the needed states are resolved. This code is gone,
so FLOWI_FLAG_CAN_SLEEP is not needed anymore.

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 4 :

To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct
sock_common

Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast
lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV.

Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache
lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall).

inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)-&gt;pinet6

This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4,
we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6,
it's not doable easily.

inet6_sk(sk)-&gt;daddr becomes sk-&gt;sk_v6_daddr
inet6_sk(sk)-&gt;rcv_saddr becomes sk-&gt;sk_v6_rcv_saddr

And timewait socket also have tw-&gt;tw_v6_daddr &amp; tw-&gt;tw_v6_rcv_saddr
at the same offset.

We get rid of INET6_TW_MATCH() as INET6_MATCH() is now the generic
macro.

<title>ipv6: use newly introduced __ipv6_addr_needs_scope_id and ipv6_iface_scope_id</title>

This patch requires multicast interface-scoped addresses to supply a
sin6_scope_id. Because the sin6_scope_id is now also correctly used
in case of interface-scoped multicast traffic this enables one to use
interface scoped addresses over interfaces which are not targeted by the
default multicast route (the route has to be put there manually, though).

getsockname() and getpeername() now return the correct sin6_scope_id in
case of interface-local mc addresses.

v2:
a) rebased ontop of patch 1/4 (now uses ipv6_addr_props)

v3:
a) reverted changes for ipv6_addr_props

v4:
a) unchanged

<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:

When attempting to build linux-next with user namespaces enabled I ran
into this fun build error.

  CC      net/ipv6/inet6_connection_sock.o
.../net/ipv6/inet6_connection_sock.c: In function ‘inet6_csk_bind_conflict’:
.../net/ipv6/inet6_connection_sock.c:37:12: error: incompatible types when initializing type ‘int’ using
 type ‘kuid_t’
.../net/ipv6/inet6_connection_sock.c:54:30: error: incompatible type for argument 1 of ‘uid_eq’
.../include/linux/uidgid.h:48:20: note: expected ‘kuid_t’ but argument is of type ‘int’
make[3]: *** [net/ipv6/inet6_connection_sock.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [net/ipv6] Error 2
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Using kuid_t instead of int to hold the uid fixes this.

Motivation for soreuseport 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.

In case of error, inet6_csk_update_pmtu() should consistently
return NULL.

Bug added in commit 35ad9b9cf7d8a
(ipv6: Add helper inet6_csk_update_pmtu().)
