Jakub Kicinski 85f66df39b Merge branch 'tcp-scale-connect-under-pressure'
Eric Dumazet says:

====================
tcp: scale connect() under pressure

Adoption of bhash2 in linux-6.1 made some operations almost twice
more expensive, because of additional locks.

This series adds RCU in __inet_hash_connect() to help the
case where many attempts need to be made before finding
an available 4-tuple.

This brings a ~200 % improvement in this experiment:

Server:
ulimit -n 40000; neper/tcp_crr -T 200 -F 30000 -6 --nolog

Client:
ulimit -n 40000; neper/tcp_crr -T 200 -F 30000 -6 --nolog -c -H server

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
