    inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count · 73f156a6
    Eric Dumazet 提交于
    Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
    generator.
    
    linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
    cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.
    
    1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes
    
    2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
       with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.
    
    3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
       is about 20.
    
    4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
       not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
       the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())
    
    5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.
    
    IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'
    
    Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
    so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
    fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
    with a recycled ID.
    
    We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
    as a key.
    
    ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
    belongs (it is only used from this file)
    
    secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.
    
    Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
    unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.
