Subject: [PATCH 3/3] net: Convert TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nulls

From: Eric Dumazet <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 14:15:31 +0100

RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure :
- sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the
  price of call_rcu() at freeing time.
- hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers.

This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established
and timewait sockets.

Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications
using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting
rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case.

__inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to
dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock)

Only established and timewait hashtable are converted to RCU
(bind table and listen table are still using traditional locking)
