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:

Allow multiple listener sockets to bind to the same port.

Motivation for soresuseport 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.

<title>net: move inet_dport/inet_num in sock_common</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 68835aba4d9b (net: optimize INET input path further)
moved some fields used for tcp/udp sockets lookup in the first cache
line of struct sock_common.

This patch moves inet_dport/inet_num as well, filling a 32bit hole
on 64 bit arches and reducing number of cache line misses in lookups.

Also change INET_MATCH()/INET_TW_MATCH() to perform the ports match
before addresses match, as this check is more discriminant.

Remove the hash check from MATCH() macros because we dont need to
re validate the hash value after taking a refcount on socket, and
use likely/unlikely compiler hints, as the sk_hash/hash check
makes the following conditional tests 100% predicted by cpu.

Introduce skc_addrpair/skc_portpair pair values to better
document the alignment requirements of the port/addr pairs
used in the various MATCH() macros, and remove some casts.

The namespace check can also be done at last.

This slightly improves TCP/UDP lookup times.

IP/TCP early demux needs inet-&gt;rx_dst_ifindex and
TCP needs inet-&gt;min_ttl, lets group them together in same cache line.

With help from Ben Hutchings &amp; Joe Perches.

Idea of this patch came after Ling Ma proposal to move skc_hash
to the beginning of struct sock_common, and should allow him
to submit a final version of his patch. My tests show an improvement
doing so.

Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the
partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons.

MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and
other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)

Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
unpredictable is a very serious limitation.  So the periodic
regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed.  We compute and
use a full 32-bit sequence number.

For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence
number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

<title>inet: Fix __inet_inherit_port() to correctly increment bsockets and num_owners</title>

<content type='text'>
inet sockets corresponding to passive connections are added to the bind hash
using ___inet_inherit_port(). These sockets are later removed from the bind
hash using __inet_put_port(). These two functions are not exactly symmetrical.
__inet_put_port() decrements hashinfo-&gt;bsockets and tb-&gt;num_owners, whereas
___inet_inherit_port() does not increment them. This results in both of these
going to -ve values.

This patch fixes this by calling inet_bind_hash() from ___inet_inherit_port(),
which does the right thing.

'bsockets' and 'num_owners' were introduced by commit a9d8f9110d7e953c
(inet: Allowing more than 64k connections and heavily optimize bind(0))

When __inet_inherit_port() is called on a tproxy connection the wrong locks are
held for the inet_bind_bucket it is added to. __inet_inherit_port() made an
implicit assumption that the listener's port number (and thus its bind bucket).
Unfortunately, if you're using the TPROXY target to redirect skbs to a
transparent proxy that assumption is not true anymore and things break.

This patch adds code to __inet_inherit_port() so that it can handle this case
by looking up or creating a new bind bucket for the child socket and updates
callers of __inet_inherit_port() to gracefully handle __inet_inherit_port()
failing.

Reported by and original patch from Stephen Buck &lt;stephen.buck@exinda.com&gt;.
See http://marc.info/?t=128169268200001&amp;r=1&amp;w=2 for the original discussion.

EXPORT_SYMBOL should immediately follow the symbol declaration.

(Dropped the infiniband part, because Tetsuo modified the related code,
I will send a separate patch for it once this is accepted.)

This patch introduces /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_reserved_ports which
allows users to reserve ports for third-party applications.

The reserved ports will not be used by automatic port assignments
(e.g. when calling connect() or bind() with port number 0). Explicit
port allocation behavior is unchanged.

<title>tcp: Fix a connect() race with timewait sockets</title>

When we find a timewait connection in __inet_hash_connect() and reuse
it for a new connection request, we have a race window, releasing bind
list lock and reacquiring it in __inet_twsk_kill() to remove timewait
socket from list.

Another thread might find the timewait socket we already chose, leading to
list corruption and crashes.

Fix is to remove timewait socket from bind list before releasing the bind lock.

Note: This problem happens if sysctl_tcp_tw_reuse is set.
