Using the value of RDS_TCP_DEFAULT_BUFSIZE (128K)
clobbers efficient use of TSO because it inflates the size_goal
that is computed in tcp_sendmsg/tcp_sendpage and skews packet
latency, and the default values for these parameters actually
results in significantly better performance.

In request-response tests using rds-stress with a packet size of
100K with 16 threads (test parameters -q 100000 -a 256 -t16 -d16)
between a single pair of IP addresses achieves a throughput of
6-8 Gbps. Without this patch, throughput maxes at 2-3 Gbps under
equivalent conditions on these platforms.

Commit f711a6ae ("net/rds: RDS-TCP: Always create a new rds_sock
for an incoming connection.") modified rds-tcp so that an incoming SYN
would ignore an existing "client" TCP connection which had the local
port set to the transient port.  The motivation for ignoring the existing
"client" connection in f711a6ae was to avoid race conditions and an
endless duel of reconnect attempts triggered by a restart/abort of one
of the nodes in the TCP connection.

However, having separate sockets for active and passive sides
is avoidable, and the simpler model of a single TCP socket for
both send and receives of all RDS connections associated with
that tcp socket makes for easier observability. We avoid the race
conditions from f711a6ae by attempting reconnects in rds_conn_shutdown
if, and only if, the (new) c_outgoing bit is set for RDS_TRANS_TCP.
The c_outgoing bit is initialized in __rds_conn_create().

A side-effect of re-using the client rds_connection for an incoming
SYN is the potential of encountering duelling SYNs, i.e., we
have an outgoing RDS_CONN_CONNECTING socket when we get the incoming
SYN. The logic to arbitrate this criss-crossing SYN exchange in
rds_tcp_accept_one() has been modified to emulate the BGP state
machine: the smaller IP address should back off from the connection attempt.

net: assorted y2038 changes

This is a set of changes for network drivers and core code to
get rid of the use of time_t and derived data structures.

I have a longer set of patches that enables me to build kernels
with the time_t definition removed completely as a help to find
y2038 overflow issues. This is the subset for networking that
contains all code that has a reasonable way of fixing at the
moment and that is either commonly used (in one of the defconfigs)
or that blocks building a whole subsystem.

Most of the patches in this series should be noncontroversial,
but the last two that I marked [RFC] are a bit tricky and
need input from people that are more familiar with the code than
I am. All 12 patches are independent of one another and can
be applied in any order, so feel free to pick all that look
good.

mwifiex_get_random_ba_threshold() uses a complex homegrown implementation
to generate a pseudo-random number from the current time as returned
from do_gettimeofday().

This currently requires two 32-bit divisions plus a couple of other
computations that are eventually discarded as only eight bits of
the microsecond portion are used at all.

We could replace this with a call to get_random_bytes(), but that
might drain the entropy pool too fast if this is called for each
packet.

Instead, this patch converts it to use ktime_get_ns(), which is a
bit faster than do_gettimeofday(), and then uses a similar algorithm
as before, but in a way that takes both the nanosecond and second
portion into account for slightly-more-but-still-not-very-random
pseudorandom number.

====================
ipv4: Hash-based multipath routing

When the routing cache was removed in 3.6, the IPv4 multipath algorithm changed
from more or less being destination-based into being quasi-random per-packet
scheduling. This increases the risk of out-of-order packets and makes it
impossible to use multipath together with anycast services.

This patch series replaces the old implementation with flow-based load
balancing based on a hash over the source and destination addresses.

Distribution of the hash is done with thresholds as described in RFC 2992.
This reduces the disruption when a path is added/remove when having more than
two paths.

To futher the chance of successful usage in conjuction with anycast, ICMP
error packets are hashed over the inner IP addresses. This ensures that PMTU
will work together with anycast or load-balancers such as IPVS.

Port numbers are not considered since fragments could cause problems with
anycast and IPVS. Relying on the DF-flag for TCP packets is also insufficient,
since ICMP inspection effectively extracts information from the opposite
flow which might have a different state of the DF-flag. This is also why the
RSS hash is not used. These are typically based on the NDIS RSS spec which
mandates TCP support.

Measurements of the additional overhead of a two-path multipath
(p_mkroute_input excl. __mkroute_input) on a Xeon X3550 (4 cores, 2.66GHz):

Original per-packet: ~394 cycles/packet
L3 hash:              ~76 cycles/packet

Changes in v5:
- Fixed compilation error

Changes in v4:
- Functions take hash directly instead of func ptr
- Added inline hash function
- Added dummy macros to minimize ifdefs
- Use upper 31 bits of hash instead of lower

Changes in v3:
- Multipath algorithm is no longer configurable (always L3)
- Added random seed to hash
- Moved ICMP inspection to isolated function
- Ignore source quench packets (deprecated as per RFC 6633)

Changes in v2:
- Replaced 8-bit xor hash with 31-bit jenkins hash
- Don't scale weights (since 31-bit)
- Avoided unnecesary renaming of variables
- Rely on DF-bit instead of fragment offset when checking for fragmentation
- upper_bound is now inclusive to avoid overflow
- Use a callback to postpone extracting flow information until necessary
- Skipped ICMP inspection entirely with L4 hashing
- Handle newly added sysctl ignore_routes_with_linkdown

tcp_recvmsg() uses __kfree_skb() as it is assumed all skb found in

Then the kfree_skb() in tcp_rcv_state_process() uses an already freed skb
