It seems overkill to use vmalloc() for typical listeners with less than
2048 hash buckets. Try kmalloc() and fallback to vmalloc() to reduce TLB
pressure.

Use kvfree() helper as it is now available.
Use ilog2() instead of a loop.

One of my pet coding style peeves is the practice of
adding extra return; at the end of function.
Kill several instances of this in network code.

I suppose some coccinelle wizardy could do this automatically.

spin_is_locked() on a non !SMP build is kind of useless.

BUG_ON(!spin_is_locked(xx)) is guaranteed to crash.

Just remove this check in reqsk_fastopen_remove() as
the callers do hold the socket lock.

<title>tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - support TFO listeners</title>

<id>8336886f786fdacbc19b719c1f7ea91eb70706d4</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch builds on top of the previous patch to add the support
for TFO listeners. This includes -

1. allocating, properly initializing, and managing the per listener
fastopen_queue structure when TFO is enabled

2. changes to the inet_csk_accept code to support TFO. E.g., the
request_sock can no longer be freed upon accept(), not until 3WHS
finishes

3. allowing a TCP_SYN_RECV socket to properly poll() and sendmsg()
if it's a TFO socket

4. properly closing a TFO listener, and a TFO socket before 3WHS
finishes

5. supporting TCP_FASTOPEN socket option

6. modifying tcp_check_req() to use to check a TFO socket as well
as request_sock

7. supporting TCP's TFO cookie option

8. adding a new SYN-ACK retransmit handler to use the timer directly
off the TFO socket rather than the listener socket. Note that TFO
server side will not retransmit anything other than SYN-ACK until
the 3WHS is completed.

The patch also contains an important function
"reqsk_fastopen_remove()" to manage the somewhat complex relation
between a listener, its request_sock, and the corresponding child
socket. See the comment above the function for the detail.

sysctl_max_syn_backlog is determined by tcp_hashinfo-&gt;ehash_mask,
and the minimal value is 128, and it will increase in proportion to the
memory of machine.

<title>tcp: Add timewait recycling bits to ipv6 connect code.</title>

This will also improve handling of ipv6 tcp socket request
backlog when syncookies are not enabled.  When backlog
becomes very deep, last quarter of backlog is limited to
validated destinations.  Previously only ipv4 implemented
this logic, but now ipv6 does too.

Now we are only one step away from enabling timewait
recycling for ipv6, and that step is simply filling in
the implementation of tcp_v6_get_peer() and
tcp_v6_tw_get_peer().

We forgot to use __GFP_HIGHMEM in several __vmalloc() calls.

In ceph, add the missing flag.

In fib_trie.c, xfrm_hash.c and request_sock.c, using vzalloc() is
cleaner and allows using HIGHMEM pages as well.

<title>net: convert BUG_TRAP to generic WARN_ON</title>

Removes legacy reinvent-the-wheel type thing. The generic
machinery integrates much better to automated debugging aids
such as kerneloops.org (and others), and is unambiguous due to
better naming. Non-intuively BUG_TRAP() is actually equal to
WARN_ON() rather than BUG_ON() though some might actually be
promoted to BUG_ON() but I left that to future.

I could make at least one BUILD_BUG_ON conversion.
