rps: tcp: fix rps_sock_flow_table table updates
I believe a moderate SYN flood attack can corrupt RFS flow table (rps_sock_flow_table), making RPS/RFS much less effective. Even in a normal situation, server handling short lived sessions suffer from bad steering for the first data packet of a session, if another SYN packet is received for another session. We do following action in tcp_v4_rcv() : sock_rps_save_rxhash(sk, skb->rxhash); We should _not_ do this if sk is a LISTEN socket, as about each packet received on a LISTEN socket has a different rxhash than previous one. -> RPS_NO_CPU markers are spread all over rps_sock_flow_table. Also, it makes sense to protect sk->rxhash field changes with socket lock (We currently can change it even if user thread owns the lock and might use rxhash) This patch moves sock_rps_save_rxhash() to a sock locked section, and only for non LISTEN sockets.
