Fanouts allow packet capturing to be demuxed to a set of AF_PACKET
sockets. Two fanout policies are implemented:
1) Hashing based upon skb->rxhash
2) Pure round-robin
An AF_PACKET socket must be fully bound before it tries to add itself
to a fanout. All AF_PACKET sockets trying to join the same fanout
must all have the same bind settings.
Fanouts are identified (within a network namespace) by a 16-bit ID.
The first socket to try to add itself to a fanout with a particular
ID, creates that fanout. When the last socket leaves the fanout
(which happens only when the socket is closed), that fanout is
destroyed.

The packet aggregation needs to ensure that only compatible packets
are aggregated. Some of the checks are based on the interface number
while assuming that the first interface also is the primary interface
which is not always the case.
This patch addresses the issue by using the primary_if pointer.

The primary interface OGM has to be broadcasted on all hard-interfaces
even if the primary interface is not the first interface (if_num = 0).
Therefore the code has to compare the originating interface with the
primary interface instead of checking the if_num.

The tt_local_entry structure now has a 'flags' field. This helps to
unify the flags format to all the client related structures (tt_global_entry
and tt_change). The 'never_purge' field is now encoded in the 'flags' one.
To optimise the usage of this field, its length has been increased to 16bit
in order to use the eight leading bits (from 0 to 7) to store flags that
have to be sent on the wire, while the eight ending ones are used for local
computation only.
Moreover 'enum tt_change_flags' is now called 'enum tt_client_flags' and the
defined values apply to the tt_local_entry, tt_global_entry and the tt_change
'flags' field.

CCID-2's cwnd increases like TCP during slow-start, which has implications for
* the local Sequence Window value (should be > cwnd),
* the Ack Ratio value.
Hence an exponential growth, if it does not reflect the actual network
conditions, can quickly lead to instability.
This patch adds congestion-window validation (RFC2861) to CCID-2:
* cwnd is constrained if the sender is application limited;
* cwnd is reduced after a long idle period, as suggested in the '90 paper
by Van Jacobson, in RFC 2581 (sec. 4.1);
* cwnd is never reduced below the RFC 3390 initial window.
As marked in the comments, the code is actually almost a direct copy of the
TCP congestion-window-validation algorithms. By continuing this work, it may
in future be possible to use the TCP code (not possible at the moment).
The mechanism can be turned off using a module parameter. Sampling of the
currently-used window (moving-maximum) is however done constantly; this is
used to determine the expected window, which can be exploited to regulate
DCCP's Sequence Window value.
This patch also sets slow-start-after-idle (RFC 4341, 5.1), i.e. it behaves like
TCP when net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle = 1.

This patch rearranges the order of statements of the slow-path input processing
(i.e. any other state than OPEN), to resolve the following issues.
1. Dependencies: the order of statements now better matches RFC 4340, 8.5, i.e.
step 7 is before step 9 (previously 9 was before 7), and parsing options in
step 8 (which may consume resources) now comes after step 7.
2. Sequence number checks are omitted if in state LISTEN/REQUEST, due to the
note underneath the table in RFC 4340, 7.5.3.
As a result, CCID processing is now indeed confined to OPEN/PARTOPEN states,
i.e. congestion control is performed only on the flow of data packets. This
avoids pathological cases of doing congestion control on those messages
which set up and terminate the connection.
3. Packets are now passed on to Ack Vector / CCID processing only after
- step 7 (receive unexpected packets),
- step 9 (receive Reset),
- step 13 (receive CloseReq),
- step 14 (receive Close)
and only if the state is PARTOPEN. This simplifies CCID processing:
- in LISTEN/CLOSED the CCIDs are non-existent;
- in RESPOND/REQUEST the CCIDs have not yet been negotiated;
- in CLOSEREQ and active-CLOSING the node has already closed this socket;
- in passive-CLOSING the client is waiting for its Reset.
In the last case, RFC 4340, 8.3 leaves it open to ignore further incoming
data, which is the approach taken here.

This patch adds a change sequence counter to each net namespace
which is bumped whenever a netdevice is added or removed from
the list. If such a change occurred while a link dump took place,
the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first
message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages
of the same dump.
Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is
taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a
complete list of links and not miss any.
Testing:
I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split
over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in
one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy
netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have
had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set.
I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the
wireless tree. I just wanted to give this some testing right away.

The "Pkt runx" carries the number of packets a cpu

As you can see the system is still not perfect but
is a lot better than what it was before...
At the moment we use the old backlog weight, weight_p
which is 64 packets. It seems to be reasonably fine
with that value.
The system could be made more fair if we reduce the
weight_p (as per my presentation), but we are going
to affect the shared backlog weight. Unless deemed
necessary, I think the default value is fine. If not
we could add yet another knob.
