Eric Dumazet 9544d60a26 inet: change lport contribution to inet_ehashfn() and inet6_ehashfn()
In order to speedup __inet_hash_connect(), we want to ensure hash values
for <source address, port X, destination address, destination port>
are not randomly spread, but monotonically increasing.

Goal is to allow __inet_hash_connect() to derive the hash value
of a candidate 4-tuple with a single addition in the following
patch in the series.

Given :
  hash_0 = inet_ehashfn(saddr, 0, daddr, dport)
  hash_sport = inet_ehashfn(saddr, sport, daddr, dport)

Then (hash_sport == hash_0 + sport) for all sport values.

As far as I know, there is no security implication with this change.

After this patch, when __inet_hash_connect() has to try XXXX candidates,
the hash table buckets are contiguous and packed, allowing
a better use of cpu caches and hardware prefetchers.

Tested:

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

After this patch:

  utime_start=0.286131

  throughput=151866.56

perf top:

 50.01%  [kernel]       [k] __inet6_check_established
 20.65%  [kernel]       [k] __inet_hash_connect
 15.81%  [kernel]       [k] inet6_ehashfn
  2.92%  [kernel]       [k] rcu_all_qs
  2.34%  [kernel]       [k] __cond_resched
  0.50%  [kernel]       [k] _raw_spin_lock
  0.34%  [kernel]       [k] sched_balance_trigger
  0.24%  [kernel]       [k] queued_spin_lock_slowpath

There is indeed an increase of throughput and reduction of latency.

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.
