Perform all validations when updating values of struct_ops maps. Doing
validation in st_ops->reg() and st_ops->update() is not necessary anymore.
However, tcp_register_congestion_control() has been called in various
places. It still needs to do validations.

This feature lets you immediately transition to another congestion
control algorithm or implementation with the same name. Once a name
is updated, new connections will apply this new algorithm.
The purpose is to update a customized algorithm implemented in BPF
struct_ops with a new version on the flight. The following is an
example of using the userspace API implemented in later BPF patches.
link = bpf_map__attach_struct_ops(skel->maps.ca_update_1);
.......
err = bpf_link__update_map(link, skel->maps.ca_update_2);
We first load and register an algorithm implemented in BPF struct_ops,
then swap it out with a new one using the same name. After that, newly
created connections will apply the updated algorithm, while older ones
retain the previous version already applied.
This patch also takes this chance to refactor the ca validation into
the new tcp_validate_congestion_control() function.

The congestion status of a tcp flow may be updated since there
is congestion between tcp sender and receiver. It makes sense to
add tracepoint for congestion status set function to summate cc
status duration and evaluate the performance of network
and congestion algorithm. the backgound of this patch is below.

We had various bugs over the years with code
breaking the assumption that tp->snd_cwnd is greater
than zero.
Lately, syzbot reported the WARN_ON_ONCE(!tp->prior_cwnd) added
in commit 8b8a321ff72c ("tcp: fix zero cwnd in tcp_cwnd_reduction")
can trigger, and without a repro we would have to spend
considerable time finding the bug.
Instead of complaining too late, we want to catch where
and when tp->snd_cwnd is set to an illegal value.

tcp_set_default_congestion_control() is netns-safe in that it writes
to &net->ipv4.tcp_congestion_control, but it also sets
ca->flags |= TCP_CONG_NON_RESTRICTED which is not namespaced.
This has the unintended side-effect of changing the global
net.ipv4.tcp_allowed_congestion_control sysctl, despite the fact that it
is read-only: 97684f0970f6 ("net: Make tcp_allowed_congestion_control
readonly in non-init netns")
Resolve this netns "leak" by only allowing the init netns to set the
default algorithm to one that is restricted. This restriction could be
removed if tcp_allowed_congestion_control were namespace-ified in the
future.
This bug was uncovered with

When setting congestion control via a BPF program it is seen that the
SYN/ACK for packets within a given flow will not include the ECT0 flag. A
bit of simple printk debugging shows that when this is configured without
BPF we will see the value INET_ECN_xmit value initialized in
tcp_assign_congestion_control however when we configure this via BPF the
socket is in the closed state and as such it isn't configured, and I do not
see it being initialized when we transition the socket into the listen
state. The result of this is that the ECT0 bit is configured based on
whatever the default state is for the socket.
Any easy way to reproduce this is to monitor the following with tcpdump:
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_progs -t bpf_tcp_ca
Without this patch the SYN/ACK will follow whatever the default is. If dctcp
all SYN/ACK packets will have the ECT0 bit set, and if it is not then ECT0
will be cleared on all SYN/ACK packets. With this patch applied the SYN/ACK
bit matches the value seen on the other packets in the given stream.

Simplify tcp_set_congestion_control() by removing the initialization
code path for the !load case.
There are only two call sites for tcp_set_congestion_control(). The
EBPF call site is the only one that passes load=false; it also passes
cap_net_admin=true. Because of that, the exact same behavior can be
achieved by removing the special if (!load) branch of the logic. Both
before and after this commit, the EBPF case will call
bpf_try_module_get(), and if that succeeds then call
tcp_reinit_congestion_control() or if that fails then return EBUSY.
Note that this returns the logic to a structure very similar to the
structure before:
commit 91b5b21c7c16 ("bpf: Add support for changing congestion control")
except that the CAP_NET_ADMIN status is passed in as a function
argument.
This clean-up was suggested by Martin KaFai Lau.

Change tcp_init_transfer() to only initialize congestion control if it
has not been initialized already.
With this new approach, we can arrange things so that if the EBPF code
sets the congestion control by calling setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) then
tcp_init_transfer() will not re-initialize the CC module.
This is an approach that has the following beneficial properties:
(1) This allows CC module customizations made by the EBPF called in
tcp_init_transfer() to persist, and not be wiped out by a later
call to tcp_init_congestion_control() in tcp_init_transfer().
(2) Does not flip the order of EBPF and CC init, to avoid causing bugs
for existing code upstream that depends on the current order.
(3) Does not cause 2 initializations for for CC in the case where the
EBPF called in tcp_init_transfer() wants to set the CC to a new CC
algorithm.
(4) Allows follow-on simplifications to the code in net/core/filter.c
and net/ipv4/tcp_cong.c, which currently both have some complexity
to special-case CC initialization to avoid double CC
initialization if EBPF sets the CC.

syzkaller found its way into setsockopt with TCP_CONGESTION "cdg".
tcp_cdg_init() does a kcalloc to store the gradients. As sk_clone_lock
just copies all the memory, the allocated pointer will be copied as
well, if the app called setsockopt(..., TCP_CONGESTION) on the listener.
If now the socket will be destroyed before the congestion-control
has properly been initialized (through a call to tcp_init_transfer), we
will end up freeing memory that does not belong to that particular
socket, opening the door to a double-free:

Wei Wang fixed a part of these CDG-malloc issues with commit c12014440750
("tcp: memset ca_priv data to 0 properly").
This patch here fixes the listener-scenario: We make sure that listeners
setting the congestion-control through setsockopt won't initialize it
(thus CDG never allocates on listeners). For those who use AF_UNSPEC to
reuse a socket, tcp_disconnect() is changed to cleanup afterwards.
(The issue can be reproduced at least down to v4.4.x.)

This patch makes "struct tcp_congestion_ops" to be the first user
of BPF STRUCT_OPS. It allows implementing a tcp_congestion_ops
in bpf.
The BPF implemented tcp_congestion_ops can be used like
regular kernel tcp-cc through sysctl and setsockopt. e.g.
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# sysctl -a | egrep congestion
net.ipv4.tcp_allowed_congestion_control = reno cubic bpf_cubic
net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control = reno bic cubic bpf_cubic
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = bpf_cubic
There has been attempt to move the TCP CC to the user space
(e.g. CCP in TCP). The common arguments are faster turn around,
get away from long-tail kernel versions in production...etc,
which are legit points.
BPF has been the continuous effort to join both kernel and
userspace upsides together (e.g. XDP to gain the performance
advantage without bypassing the kernel). The recent BPF
advancements (in particular BTF-aware verifier, BPF trampoline,
BPF CO-RE...) made implementing kernel struct ops (e.g. tcp cc)
possible in BPF. It allows a faster turnaround for testing algorithm
in the production while leveraging the existing (and continue growing)
BPF feature/framework instead of building one specifically for
userspace TCP CC.
This patch allows write access to a few fields in tcp-sock
(in bpf_tcp_ca_btf_struct_access()).
The optional "get_info" is unsupported now. It can be added
later. One possible way is to output the info with a btf-id
to describe the content.

snprintf returns the number of chars that would be written, not number
of chars that were actually written. As such, 'offs' may get larger than
'tbl.maxlen', causing the 'tbl.maxlen - offs' being < 0, and since the
parameter is size_t, it would overflow.
Since using scnprintf may hide the limit error, while the buffer is still
enough now, let's just add a WARN_ON_ONCE in case it reach the limit
in future.

Neal reported incorrect use of ns_capable() from bpf hook.
bpf_setsockopt(...TCP_CONGESTION...)
-> tcp_set_congestion_control()
-> ns_capable(sock_net(sk)->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN)
-> ns_capable_common()
-> current_cred()
-> rcu_dereference_protected(current->cred, 1)
Accessing 'current' in bpf context makes no sense, since packets
are processed from softirq context.
As Neal stated : The capability check in tcp_set_congestion_control()
was written assuming a system call context, and then was reused from
a BPF call site.
The fix is to add a new parameter to tcp_set_congestion_control(),
so that the ns_capable() call is only performed under the right
context.

There are a few bugs around refcnt handling in the new BPF congestion
control setsockopt:
- The new ca is assigned to icsk->icsk_ca_ops even in the case where we
cannot get a reference on it. This would lead to a use after free,
since that ca is going away soon.
- Changing the congestion control case doesn't release the refcnt on
the previous ca.
- In the reinit case, we first leak a reference on the old ca, then we
call tcp_reinit_congestion_control on the ca that we have just
assigned, leading to deinitializing the wrong ca (->release of the
new ca on the old ca's data) and releasing the refcount on the ca
that we actually want to use.
This is visible by building (for example) BIC as a module and setting
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bic, and using tcp_cong_kern.c from
samples/bpf.
This patch fixes the refcount issues, and moves reinit back into tcp
core to avoid passing a ca pointer back to BPF.

congestion control. Consider a congestion control (like BBR)
that does not use ssthresh and keeps it infinite: the connection
may incorrectly revert cwnd to an infinite value when switching
from BBR to another congestion control.
This patch fixes it by disallowing such cwnd undo operation
upon switching congestion control. Note that undo_marker
is not reset s.t. the packets that were incorrectly marked
lost would be corrected. We only avoid undoing the cwnd in
tcp_undo_cwnd_reduction().

Always zero out ca_priv data in tcp_assign_congestion_control() so that
ca_priv data is cleared out during socket creation.
Also always zero out ca_priv data in tcp_reinit_congestion_control() so
that when cc algorithm is changed, ca_priv data is cleared out as well.
We should still zero out ca_priv data even in TCP_CLOSE state because
user could call connect() on AF_UNSPEC to disconnect the socket and
leave it in TCP_CLOSE state and later call setsockopt() to switch cc
algorithm on this socket.

All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.
That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware. If that fails it returns an
error.
Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.
However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.

The undo_cwnd fallback in the stack doubles cwnd based on ssthresh,
which un-does reno halving behaviour.
It seems more appropriate to let congctl algorithms pair .ssthresh
and .undo_cwnd properly. Add a 'tcp_reno_undo_cwnd' function and wire it
up for all congestion algorithms that used to rely on the fallback.

We need to zero out the private data area when application switches
connection to different algorithm (TCP_CONGESTION setsockopt).
When congestion ops get assigned at connect time everything is already
zeroed because sk_alloc uses GFP_ZERO flag. But in the setsockopt case
this contains whatever previous cc placed there.

This commit introduces an optional new "omnipotent" hook,
cong_control(), for congestion control modules. The cong_control()
function is called at the end of processing an ACK (i.e., after
updating sequence numbers, the SACK scoreboard, and loss
detection). At that moment we have precise delivery rate information
the congestion control module can use to control the sending behavior
(using cwnd, TSO skb size, and pacing rate) in any CA state.
This function can also be used by a congestion control that prefers
not to use the default cwnd reduction approach (i.e., the PRR
algorithm) during CA_Recovery to control the cwnd and sending rate
during loss recovery.
We take advantage of the fact that recent changes defer the
retransmission or transmission of new data (e.g. by F-RTO) in recovery
until the new tcp_cong_control() function is run.
With this commit, we only run tcp_update_pacing_rate() if the
congestion control is not using this new API. New congestion controls
which use the new API do not want the TCP stack to run the default
pacing rate calculation and overwrite whatever pacing rate they have
chosen at initialization time.

Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should:
A responder has f.e. Cubic as system wide default, but for a specific
route to the initiating host, DCTCP is being set in RTAX_CC_ALGO. The
initiating host then uses DCTCP as congestion control, but since the
initiator sets ECT(0), tcp_ecn_create_request() doesn't set ecn_ok,
and we have to fall back to Reno after 3WHS completes.
We were thinking on how to solve this in a minimal, non-intrusive
way without bloating tcp_ecn_create_request() needlessly: lets cache
the CA ecn option flag in RTAX_FEATURES. In other words, when ECT(0)
is set on the SYN packet, set ecn_ok=1 iff route RTAX_FEATURES
contains the unexposed (internal-only) DST_FEATURE_ECN_CA. This allows
to only do a single metric feature lookup inside tcp_ecn_create_request().

In the original design slow start is only used to raise cwnd
when cwnd is stricly below ssthresh. It makes little sense
to slow start when cwnd == ssthresh: especially
when hystart has set ssthresh in the initial ramp, or after
recovery when cwnd resets to ssthresh. Not doing so will
also help reduce the buffer bloat slightly.

Linux 3.17 and earlier are explicitly engineered so that if the app
doesn't specifically request a CC module on a listener before the SYN
arrives, then the child gets the system default CC when the connection
is established. See tcp_init_congestion_control() in 3.17 or earlier,
which says "if no choice made yet assign the current value set as
default". The change ("net: tcp: assign tcp cong_ops when tcp sk is
created") altered these semantics, so that children got their parent
listener's congestion control even if the system default had changed
after the listener was created.
This commit returns to those original semantics from 3.17 and earlier,
since they are the original semantics from 2007 in 4d4d3d1e8 ("[TCP]:
Congestion control initialization."), and some Linux congestion
control workflows depend on that.
In summary, if a listener socket specifically sets TCP_CONGESTION to
"x", or the route locks the CC module to "x", then the child gets
"x". Otherwise the child gets current system default from
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control. That's the behavior in 3.17 and
earlier, and this commit restores that.

The recent change to tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to handle stretch ACKs
introduced a bug where snd_cwnd_cnt could accumulate a very large
value while w was large, and then if w was reduced snd_cwnd could be
incremented by a large delta, leading to a large burst and high packet
loss. This was tickled when CUBIC's bictcp_update() sets "ca->cnt =
100 * cwnd".
This bug crept in while preparing the upstream version of
814d488c6126.

tcp_cong_avoid_ai() was too timid (snd_cwnd increased too slowly) on
"stretch ACKs" -- cases where the receiver ACKed more than 1 packet in
a single ACK. For example, suppose w is 10 and we get a stretch ACK
for 20 packets, so acked is 20. We ought to increase snd_cwnd by 2
(since acked/w = 20/10 = 2), but instead we were only increasing cwnd
by 1. This patch fixes that behavior.

LRO, GRO, delayed ACKs, and middleboxes can cause "stretch ACKs" that
cover more than the RFC-specified maximum of 2 packets. These stretch
ACKs can cause serious performance shortfalls in common congestion
control algorithms that were designed and tuned years ago with
receiver hosts that were not using LRO or GRO, and were instead
politely ACKing every other packet.
This patch series fixes Reno and CUBIC to handle stretch ACKs.
This patch prepares for the upcoming stretch ACK bug fix patches. It
adds an "acked" parameter to tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to allow for future
fixes to tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to correctly handle stretch ACKs, and
changes all congestion control algorithms to pass in 1 for the ACKed
count. It also changes tcp_slow_start() to return the number of packet
ACK "credits" that were not processed in slow start mode, and can be
processed by the congestion control module in additive increase mode.
In future patches we will fix tcp_cong_avoid_ai() to handle stretch
ACKs, and fix Reno and CUBIC handling of stretch ACKs in slow start
and additive increase mode.

This patch adds necessary infrastructure to the congestion control
framework for later per route congestion control support.
For a per route congestion control possibility, our aim is to store
a unique u32 key identifier into dst metrics, which can then be
mapped into a tcp_congestion_ops struct. We argue that having a
RTAX key entry is the most simple, generic and easy way to manage,
and also keeps the memory footprint of dst entries lower on 64 bit
than with storing a pointer directly, for example. Having a unique
key id also allows for decoupling actual TCP congestion control
module management from the FIB layer, i.e. we don't have to care
about expensive module refcounting inside the FIB at this point.
We first thought of using an IDR store for the realization, which
takes over dynamic assignment of unused key space and also performs
the key to pointer mapping in RCU. While doing so, we stumbled upon
the issue that due to the nature of dynamic key distribution, it
just so happens, arguably in very rare occasions, that excessive
module loads and unloads can lead to a possible reuse of previously
used key space. Thus, previously stale keys in the dst metric are
now being reassigned to a different congestion control algorithm,
which might lead to unexpected behaviour. One way to resolve this
would have been to walk FIBs on the actually rare occasion of a
module unload and reset the metric keys for each FIB in each netns,
but that's just very costly.
Therefore, we argue a better solution is to reuse the unique
congestion control algorithm name member and map that into u32 key
space through jhash. For that, we split the flags attribute (as it
currently uses 2 bits only anyway) into two u32 attributes, flags
and key, so that we can keep the cacheline boundary of 2 cachelines
on x86_64 and cache the precalculated key at registration time for
the fast path. On average we might expect 2 - 4 modules being loaded
worst case perhaps 15, so a key collision possibility is extremely
low, and guaranteed collision-free on LE/BE for all in-tree modules.
Overall this results in much simpler code, and all without the
overhead of an IDR. Due to the deterministic nature, modules can
now be unloaded, the congestion control algorithm for a specific
but unloaded key will fall back to the default one, and on module
reload time it will switch back to the expected algorithm
transparently.

Split assignment and initialization from one into two functions.
This is required by followup patches that add Datacenter TCP
(DCTCP) congestion control algorithm - we need to be able to
determine if the connection is moderated by DCTCP before the
3WHS has finished.
As we walk the available congestion control list during the
assignment, we are always guaranteed to have Reno present as
it's fixed compiled-in. Therefore, since we're doing the
early assignment, we don't have a real use for the Reno alias
tcp_init_congestion_ops anymore and can thus remove it.
Actual usage of the congestion control operations are being
made after the 3WHS has finished, in some cases however we
can access get_info() via diag if implemented, therefore we
need to zero out the private area for those modules.

Yuchung discovered tcp_is_cwnd_limited() was returning false in
slow start phase even if the application filled the socket write queue.
All congestion modules take into account tcp_is_cwnd_limited()
before increasing cwnd, so this behavior limits slow start from
probing the bandwidth at full speed.
The problem is that even if write queue is full (aka we are _not_
application limited), cwnd can be under utilized if TSO should auto
defer or TCP Small queues decided to hold packets.
So the in_flight can be kept to smaller value, and we can get to the
point tcp_is_cwnd_limited() returns false.
With TCP Small Queues and FQ/pacing, this issue is more visible.
We fix this by having tcp_cwnd_validate(), which is supposed to track
such things, take into account unsent_segs, the number of segs that we
are not sending at the moment due to TSO or TSQ, but intend to send
real soon. Then when we are cwnd-limited, remember this fact while we
are processing the window of ACKs that comes back.
For example, suppose we have a brand new connection with cwnd=10; we
are in slow start, and we send a flight of 9 packets. By the time we
have received ACKs for all 9 packets we want our cwnd to be 18.
We implement this by setting tp->lsnd_pending to 9, and
considering ourselves to be cwnd-limited while cwnd is less than
twice tp->lsnd_pending (2*9 -> 18).
This makes tcp_is_cwnd_limited() more understandable, by removing
the GSO/TSO kludge, that tried to work around the issue.
Note the in_flight parameter can be removed in a followup cleanup
patch.

tcp_is_cwnd_limited() allows GSO/TSO enabled flows to increase
their cwnd to allow a full size (64KB) TSO packet to be sent.
Non GSO flows only allow an extra room of 3 MSS.
For most flows with a BDP below 10 MSS, this results in a bloat
of cwnd reaching 90, and an inflate of RTT.
Thanks to TSO auto sizing, we can restrict the bloat to the number
of MSS contained in a TSO packet (tp->xmit_size_goal_segs), to keep
original intent without performance impact.
Because we keep cwnd small, it helps to keep TSO packet size to their
optimal value.
Example for a 10Mbit flow, with low TCP Small queue limits (no more than
2 skb in qdisc/device tx ring)

Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets,
regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance
is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by
receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK,
GRO, etc). But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of
packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree
N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A
follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1)
to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase.
In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start
(LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The
fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even
though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global
sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the
slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow
start (hystart) enabled by default.

Since 2005 (c1b4a7e69576d65efc31a8cea0714173c2841244)
tcp_tso_should_defer has been using tcp_max_burst() as a target limit
for deciding how large to make outgoing TSO packets when not using
sysctl_tcp_tso_win_divisor. But since 2008
(dd9e0dda66ba38a2ddd1405ac279894260dc5c36) tcp_max_burst() returns the
reordering degree. We should not have tcp_tso_should_defer attempt to
build larger segments just because there is more reordering. This
commit splits the notion of deferral size used in TSO from the notion
of burst size used in cwnd moderation, and returns the TSO deferral
limit to its original value.

The string clone is only used as a temporary copy of the argument val
within the while loop, and so it should be freed before leaving the

front of the string is kept in saved_clone, to make it possible to free it.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The networking code checks CAP_SYS_MODULE before using request_module() to
try to load a kernel module. While this seems reasonable it's actually
weakening system security since we have to allow CAP_SYS_MODULE for things
like /sbin/ip and bluetoothd which need to be able to trigger module loads.
CAP_SYS_MODULE actually grants those binaries the ability to directly load
any code into the kernel. We should instead be protecting modprobe and the
modules on disk, rather than granting random programs the ability to load code
directly into the kernel. Instead we are going to gate those networking checks
on CAP_NET_ADMIN which still limits them to root but which does not grant
those processes the ability to load arbitrary code into the kernel.

Many of the TCP congestion methods all just use ssthresh
as the minimum congestion window on decrease. Rather than
duplicating the code, just have that be the default if that
handle in the ops structure is not set.
Minor behaviour change to TCP compound. It probably wants
to use this (ssthresh) as lower bound, rather than ssthresh/2
because the latter causes undershoot on loss.

TCP peformance with TSO over networks with delay is awful.
On a 100Mbit link with 150ms delay, we get 4Mbits/sec with TSO and
50Mbits/sec without TSO.
The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum
number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until
we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window
unless we have filled, as per RFC2861.
This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full
with something smarter that accounts for TSO.

This changeset basically moves tcp_sk()->{ca_ops,ca_state,etc} to inet_csk(),
minimal renaming/moving done in this changeset to ease review.
Most of it is just changes of struct tcp_sock * to struct sock * parameters.
With this we move to a state closer to two interesting goals:
1. Generalisation of net/ipv4/tcp_diag.c, becoming inet_diag.c, being used
for any INET transport protocol that has struct inet_hashinfo and are
derived from struct inet_connection_sock. Keeps the userspace API, that will
just not display DCCP sockets, while newer versions of tools can support
DCCP.
2. INET generic transport pluggable Congestion Avoidance infrastructure, using
