mptcp: memcg accounting for passive sockets & backlog processing
This series is split in two: the 4 first patches are linked to memcg
accounting for passive sockets, and the rest introduce the backlog
processing. They are sent together, because the first one appeared to be
needed to get the second one fully working.
The second part includes RX path improvement built around backlog
processing. The main goals are improving the RX performances _and_
increase the long term maintainability.
- Patches 1-3: preparation work to ease the introduction of the next
patch.
- Patch 4: fix memcg accounting for passive sockets. Note that this is a
(non-urgent) fix, but it depends on material that is currently only in
net-next, e.g. commit
4a997d49d92a ("tcp: Save lock_sock() for memcg
in inet_csk_accept().").
- Patches 5-6: preparation of the stack for backlog processing, removing
assumptions that will not hold true any more after the backlog
introduction.
- Patches 7,8,10,11,12 are more cleanups that will make the backlog
patch a little less huge.
- Patch 9: somewhat an unrelated cleanup, included here not to forget
about it.
- Patches 13-14: The real work is done by them. Patch 13 introduces the
helpers needed to manipulate the msk-level backlog, and the data
struct itself, without any actual functional change. Patch 14 finally
uses the backlog for RX skb processing. Note that MPTCP can't use the
sk_backlog, as the MPTCP release callback can also release and
re-acquire the msk-level spinlock and core backlog processing works
under the assumption that such event is not possible.
A relevant point is memory accounts for skbs in the backlog. It's
somewhat "original" due to MPTCP constraints. Such skbs use space from
the incoming subflow receive buffer, do not use explicitly any forward
allocated memory, as we can't update the msk fwd mem while enqueuing,
nor we want to acquire again the ssk socket lock while processing the
skbs. Instead the msk borrows memory from the subflow and reserve it
for the backlog, see patch 5 and 14 for the gory details.
