In commit 07f4c90062 ("tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range
in connect()"), I added a very simple heuristic, so that we got better
chances to use even ports, and allow bind() users to have more available
slots.
It gave nice results, but with more than 200,000 TCP sessions on a typical
server, the ~30,000 ephemeral ports are still a rare resource.
I chose to go a step further, by looking at all even ports, and if none
was available, fallback to odd ports.
The companion patch does the same in bind(), but in opposite way.
I've seen exec times of up to 30ms on busy servers, so I no longer
disable BH for the whole traversal, but only for each hash bucket.
I also call cond_resched() to be gentle to other tasks.

net: mitigating kmem_cache free slowpath
This patchset is the first real use-case for kmem_cache bulk _free_.
The use of bulk _alloc_ is NOT included in this patchset. The full use
have previously been posted here [1].
The bulk free side have the largest benefit for the network stack
use-case, because network stack is hitting the kmem_cache/SLUB
slowpath when freeing SKBs, due to the amount of outstanding SKBs.
This is solved by using the new API kmem_cache_free_bulk().
Introduce new API napi_consume_skb(), that hides/handles bulk freeing
for the caller. The drivers simply need to use this call when freeing
SKBs in NAPI context, e.g. replacing their calles to dev_kfree_skb() /
dev_consume_skb_any().
Driver ixgbe is the first user of this new API.

There is an opportunity to bulk free SKBs during reclaiming of
resources after DMA transmit completes in ixgbe_clean_tx_irq. Thus,
bulk freeing at this point does not introduce any added latency.
Simply use napi_consume_skb() which were recently introduced. The
napi_budget parameter is needed by napi_consume_skb() to detect if it
is called from netpoll.

The network stack defers SKBs free, in-case free happens in IRQ or
when IRQs are disabled. This happens in __dev_kfree_skb_irq() that
writes SKBs that were free'ed during IRQ to the softirq completion
queue (softnet_data.completion_queue).
These SKBs are naturally delayed, and cleaned up during NET_TX_SOFTIRQ
in function net_tx_action(). Take advantage of this a use the skb
defer and flush API, as we are already in softirq context.
For modern drivers this rarely happens. Although most drivers do call
dev_kfree_skb_any(), which detects the situation and calls
__dev_kfree_skb_irq() when needed. This due to netpoll can call from
IRQ context.

Discovered that network stack were hitting the kmem_cache/SLUB
slowpath when freeing SKBs. Doing bulk free with kmem_cache_free_bulk
can speedup this slowpath.
NAPI context is a bit special, lets take advantage of that for bulk
free'ing SKBs.
In NAPI context we are running in softirq, which gives us certain
protection. A softirq can run on several CPUs at once. BUT the
important part is a softirq will never preempt another softirq running
on the same CPU. This gives us the opportunity to access per-cpu
variables in softirq context.
Extend napi_alloc_cache (before only contained page_frag_cache) to be
a struct with a small array based stack for holding SKBs. Introduce a
SKB defer and flush API for accessing this.
Introduce napi_consume_skb() as replacement for e.g. dev_consume_skb_any()
when running in NAPI context. A small trick to handle/detect if we
are called from netpoll is to see if budget is 0. In that case, we
need to invoke dev_consume_skb_irq().

Add GSO support for outer checksum w/ inner checksum offloads
This patch series updates the existing segmentation offload code for
tunnels to make better use of existing and updated GSO checksum
computation. This is done primarily through two mechanisms. First we
maintain a separate checksum in the GSO context block of the sk_buff. This
allows us to maintain two checksum values, one offloaded with values stored
in csum_start and csum_offset, and one computed and tracked in
SKB_GSO_CB(skb)->csum. By maintaining these two values we are able to take
advantage of the same sort of math used in local checksum offload so that
we can provide both inner and outer checksums with minimal overhead.
Below is the performance for a netperf session between an ixgbe PF and VF
on the same host but in different namespaces. As can be seen a significant
gain in performance can be had from allowing the use of Tx checksum offload
on the inner headers while performing a software offload on the outer
header computation:

* Dropped use of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY for remote checksum offload
