This change extends the fast SO_REUSEPORT socket lookup implemented
for UDP to TCP.  Listener sockets with SO_REUSEPORT and the same
receive address are additionally added to an array for faster
random access.  This means that only a single socket from the group
must be found in the listener list before any socket in the group can
be used to receive a packet.  Previously, every socket in the group
needed to be considered before handing off the incoming packet.

This feature also exposes the ability to use a BPF program when
selecting a socket from a reuseport group.

Include a struct sock_reuseport instance when a UDP socket binds to
a specific address for the first time with the reuseport flag set.
When selecting a socket for an incoming UDP packet, use the information
available in sock_reuseport if present.

This required adding an additional field to the UDP source address
equality function to differentiate between exact and wildcard matches.
The original use case allowed wildcard matches when checking for
existing port uses during bind.  The new use case of adding a socket
to a reuseport group requires exact address matching.

Performance test (using a machine with 2 CPU sockets and a total of
48 cores):  Create reuseport groups of varying size.  Use one socket
from this group per user thread (pinning each thread to a different
core) calling recvmmsg in a tight loop.  Record number of messages
received per second while saturating a 10G link.
  10 sockets: 18% increase (~2.8M -&gt; 3.3M pkts/s)
  20 sockets: 14% increase (~2.9M -&gt; 3.3M pkts/s)
  40 sockets: 13% increase (~3.0M -&gt; 3.4M pkts/s)

This work is based off a similar implementation written by
Ying Cai &lt;ycai@google.com&gt; for implementing policy-based reuseport
selection.

<title>ipv6: kill sk_dst_lock</title>

While testing the np-&gt;opt RCU conversion, I found that UDP/IPv6 was
using a mixture of xchg() and sk_dst_lock to protect concurrent changes
to sk-&gt;sk_dst_cache, leading to possible corruptions and crashes.

ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow() uses sk_dst_check() anyway, so the simplest
way to fix the mess is to remove sk_dst_lock completely, as we did for
IPv4.

__ip6_dst_store() and ip6_dst_store() share same implementation.

sk_setup_caps() being called with socket lock being held or not,
we have to use sk_dst_set() instead of __sk_dst_set()

Note that I had to move the "np-&gt;dst_cookie = rt6_get_cookie(rt);"
in ip6_dst_store() before the sk_setup_caps(sk, dst) call.

This is because ip6_dst_store() can be called from process context,
without any lock held.

As soon as the dst is installed in sk-&gt;sk_dst_cache, dst can be freed
from another cpu doing a concurrent ip6_dst_store()

Doing the dst dereference before doing the install is needed to make
sure no use after free would trigger.

This patch addresses multiple problems :

UDP/RAW sendmsg() need to get a stable struct ipv6_txoptions
while socket is not locked : Other threads can change np-&gt;opt
concurrently. Dmitry posted a syzkaller
(http://github.com/google/syzkaller) program desmonstrating
use-after-free.

Starting with TCP/DCCP lockless listeners, tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()
and dccp_v6_request_recv_sock() also need to use RCU protection
to dereference np-&gt;opt once (before calling ipv6_dup_options())

This patch adds full RCU protection to np-&gt;opt

<title>tcp/dccp: install syn_recv requests into ehash table</title>

<content type='text'>
In this patch, we insert request sockets into TCP/DCCP
regular ehash table (where ESTABLISHED and TIMEWAIT sockets
are) instead of using the per listener hash table.

ACK packets find SYN_RECV pseudo sockets without having
to find and lock the listener.

In nominal conditions, this halves pressure on listener lock.

Note that this will allow for SO_REUSEPORT refinements,
so that we can select a listener using cpu/numa affinities instead
of the prior 'consistent hash', since only SYN packets will
apply this selection logic.

We will shrink listen_sock in the following patch to ease
code review.

Before changing dccp_v6_request_recv_sock() sock argument
to const, we need to get rid of security_sk_classify_flow(),
and it seems doable by reusing inet6_csk_route_req() helper.

We need to add a proto parameter to inet6_csk_route_req(),
not assume it is TCP.

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.

<title>inet: get rid of central tcp/dccp listener timer</title>

<id>fa76ce7328b289b6edd476e24eb52fd634261720</id>
<content type='text'>
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.
