<content type='text'>
Currently, tcp_recvmsg enters a busy loop in sk_wait_data if called
with flags = MSG_WAITALL | MSG_PEEK.

sk_wait_data waits for sk_receive_queue not empty, but in this case,
the receive queue is not empty, but does not contain any skb that we
can use.

Add a "last skb seen on receive queue" argument to sk_wait_data, so
that it sleeps until the receive queue has new skbs.

These groups will contain socket-destruction events for
AF_INET/AF_INET6, IPPROTO_TCP/IPPROTO_UDP.

Near the end of socket destruction, a check for listeners is
performed.  In the presence of a listener, rather than completely
cleanup the socket, a unit of work will be added to a private
work queue which will first broadcast information about the socket
and then finish the cleanup operation.

<title>tcp: add a force_schedule argument to sk_stream_alloc_skb()</title>

<id>eb9344781a2f8381ed60cd9e662d9ced2d168ecb</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 8e4d980ac215 ("tcp: fix behavior for epoll edge trigger")
we fixed a possible hang of TCP sockets under memory pressure,
by allowing sk_stream_alloc_skb() to use sk_forced_mem_schedule()
if no packet is in socket write queue.

It turns out there are other cases where we want to force memory
schedule :

tcp_fragment() &amp; tso_fragment() need to split a big TSO packet into
two smaller ones. If we block here because of TCP memory pressure,
we can effectively block TCP socket from sending new data.
If no further ACK is coming, this hang would be definitive, and socket
has no chance to effectively reduce its memory usage.

sk_mem_reclaim_partial() goal is to ensure each socket has
one SK_MEM_QUANTUM forward allocation. This is needed both for
performance and better handling of memory pressure situations in
follow up patches.

SK_MEM_QUANTUM is currently a page, but might be reduced to 4096 bytes
as some arches have 64KB pages.

<title>net: Modify sk_alloc to not reference count the netns of kernel sockets.</title>

Now that sk_alloc knows when a kernel socket is being allocated modify
it to not reference count the network namespace of kernel sockets.

Keep track of if a socket needs reference counting by adding a flag to
struct sock called sk_net_refcnt.

Update all of the callers of sock_create_kern to stop using
sk_change_net and sk_release_kernel as those hacks are no longer
needed, to avoid reference counting a kernel socket.
