- Add struct net into the port hash table hash calculation
- Add struct net inot the struct sctp_bind_bucket so there
  is a memory of which network namespace a port is allocated in.
  No need for a ref count because sctp_bind_bucket only exists
  when there are sockets in the hash table and sockets can not
  change their network namspace, and sockets already ref count
  their network namespace.
- Add struct net into the key comparison when we are testing
  to see if we have found the port hash table entry we are
  looking for.

With these changes lookups in the port hash table becomes
safe to use in multiple network namespaces.

Strictly speaking this is only _really_ required for checkpoint-restore to
make loopback device always have the same index.

This change appears to be safe wrt "ifindex should be unique per-system"
concept, as all the ifindex usage is either already made per net namespace
of is explicitly limited with init_net only.

There are two cool side effects of this. The first one -- ifindices of
devices in container are always small, regardless of how many containers
we've started (and re-started) so far. The second one is -- we can speed
up the loopback ifidex access as shown in the next patch.

v2: Place ifindex right after dev_base_seq : avoid two holes and use the
    same cache line, dirtied in list_netdevice()/unlist_netdevice()

The ifinfomsg is in there (thanks kaber@ for foreseeing this long time ago),
so take the given ifidex and register netdev with it.

Ben noticed, that this code path previously ignored ifmp->ifi_index and
userland could be passing in garbage. Thus it may now fail occasionally
because the value clashes with an existing interface.

To address this it's assumed that if the caller specifies the ifindex for
the veth master device, then it's aware of this possibility and should
explicitly specify (or set to 0 for auto-assignment) the peer's ifindex as
well. With this the compatibility with old tools not setting ifindex is
preserved.

Currently the RTM_NEWLINK results in -EOPNOTSUPP if the ifinfomsg->ifi_index

is required by the checkpoint-restore to correctly restore a net namespace

Eric noticed, that when there will be devices with equal indices, some
hash functions that use them will become less effective as they could.
Fix this in advance by mixing the net_device address into the hash value
instead of the device index.

This is true for arp and ndisc hash fns. The netlabel, can and llc ones
are also ifindex-based, but that three are init_net-only, thus will not
be affected.

Various /proc/net files sometimes report crazy timer values, expressed
in clock_t units.

This happens when an expired timer delta (expires - jiffies) is passed
to jiffies_to_clock_t().

This function has an overflow in :

return div_u64((u64)x * TICK_NSEC, NSEC_PER_SEC / USER_HZ);

commit cbbc719f (time: Change jiffies_to_clock_t() argument type
to unsigned long) only got around the problem.

As we cant output negative values in /proc/net/tcp without breaking
various tools, I suggest adding a jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() wrapper
that caps the negative delta to a 0 value.

1) Avoid dirtying neighbour's confirmed field.

  TCP workloads hits this cache line for each incoming ACK.
  Lets write n->confirmed only if there is a jiffie change.

2) Optimize neigh_hh_output() for the common Ethernet case, were
   hh_len is less than 16 bytes. Replace the memcpy() call
   by two inlined 64bit load/stores on x86_64.

While playing with CoDel and ECN marking, I discovered a
non optimal behavior of receiver of CE (Congestion Encountered)
segments.

In pathological cases, sender has reduced its cwnd to low values,
and receiver delays its ACK (by 40 ms).

While RFC 3168 6.1.3 (The TCP Receiver) doesn't explicitly recommend
to send immediate ACKS, we believe its better to not delay ACKS, because
a CE segment should give same signal than a dropped segment, and its
quite important to reduce RTT to give ECE/CWR signals as fast as
possible.

Note we already call tcp_enter_quickack_mode() from TCP_ECN_check_ce()
if we receive a retransmit, for the same reason.

While doing TCP ECN tests, I discovered GRO was reordering packets if it
receives one packet with CE set, while previous packets in same NAPI run
have ECT(0) for the same flow :

proto TCP (6), length 1500)
    172.30.42.19.54550 > 172.30.42.13.44139: Flags [.], seq

1990627 ecr 3397779,nop,nop,sack 1 {233801:238145}], length 0

We have two problems here :

1) GRO reorders packets

  If NIC gave packet1, then packet2, which happen to be from "different
flows"  GRO feeds stack with packet2, then packet1. I have yet to
understand how to solve this problem.

2) GRO is not ECN friendly

Delivering packets out of order makes TCP stack not as fast as it could
be.

In this patch I suggest we make the tos test not part of the 'same_flow'
determination, but part of the 'should flush' logic
