Replace the radix tree with a hash table allocated at boot time. The radix tree has some shortcoming: a single lock is contented by all the mptcp operation, the lookup currently use such lock, and traversing all the items would require a lock, too. With hash table instead we trade a little memory to address all the above - a per bucket lock is used. To hash the MPTCP sockets, we re-use the msk' sk_node entry: the MPTCP sockets are never hashed by the stack. Replace the existing hash proto callbacks with a dummy implementation, annotating the above constraint. Additionally refactor the token creation to code to: - limit the number of consecutive attempts to a fixed maximum. Hitting a hash bucket with a long chain is considered a failed attempt - accept() no longer can fail to token management. - if token creation fails at connect() time, we do fallback to TCP (before the connection was closed) v1 -> v2: - fix "no newline at end of file" - Jakub Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mat Martineau <mathew.j.martineau@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
