The listen sk is currently stored in two hash tables,
listening_hash (hashed by port) and lhash2 (hashed by port and address).
After commit 0ee58dad5b06 ("net: tcp6: prefer listeners bound to an address")
and commit d9fbc7f6431f ("net: tcp: prefer listeners bound to an address"),
the TCP-SYN lookup fast path does not use listening_hash.
The commit 05c0b35709c5 ("tcp: seq_file: Replace listening_hash with lhash2")
also moved the seq_file (/proc/net/tcp) iteration usage from
listening_hash to lhash2.
There are still a few listening_hash usages left.
One of them is inet_reuseport_add_sock() which uses the listening_hash
to search a listen sk during the listen() system call. This turns
out to be very slow on use cases that listen on many different
VIPs at a popular port (e.g. 443). [ On top of the slowness in
adding to the tail in the IPv6 case ]. The latter patch has a
selftest to demonstrate this case.
This patch takes this chance to move all remaining listening_hash
usages to lhash2 and then retire listening_hash.
Since most changes need to be done together, it is hard to cut
the listening_hash to lhash2 switch into small patches. The
changes in this patch is highlighted here for the review
purpose.
1. Because of the listening_hash removal, lhash2 can use the
sk->sk_nulls_node instead of the icsk->icsk_listen_portaddr_node.
This will also keep the sk_unhashed() check to work as is
after stop adding sk to listening_hash.
The union is removed from inet_listen_hashbucket because
only nulls_head is needed.
2. icsk->icsk_listen_portaddr_node and its helpers are removed.
3. The current lhash2 users needs to iterate with sk_nulls_node
instead of icsk_listen_portaddr_node.
One case is in the inet[6]_lhash2_lookup().
Another case is the seq_file iterator in tcp_ipv4.c.
One thing to note is sk_nulls_next() is needed
because the old inet_lhash2_for_each_icsk_continue()
does a "next" first before iterating.
4. Move the remaining listening_hash usage to lhash2
inet_reuseport_add_sock() which this series is
trying to improve.
inet_diag.c and mptcp_diag.c are the final two
remaining use cases and is moved to lhash2 now also.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
