Kuniyuki Iwashima cf21b355cc af_unix: Optimise hash table layout.
Commit 6dd4142fb5 ("Merge branch 'af_unix-per-netns-socket-hash'") and
commit 51bae889fe ("af_unix: Put pathname sockets in the global hash
table.") changed a hash table layout.

  Before:
    unix_socket_table [0   - 255] : abstract & pathname sockets
                      [256 - 511] : unnamed sockets

  After:
    per-netns table   [0   - 255] : abstract & pathname sockets
                      [256 - 511] : unnamed sockets
    bsd_socket_table  [0   - 255] : pathname sockets (sk_bind_node)

Now, while looking up sockets, we traverse the global table for the
pathname sockets and the first half of each per-netns hash table for
abstract sockets, where pathname sockets are also linked.  Thus, the
more pathname sockets we have, the longer we take to look up abstract
sockets.  This characteristic has been there before the layout change,
but we can improve it now.

This patch changes the per-netns hash table's layout so that sockets not
requiring lookup reside in the first half and do not impact the lookup of
abstract sockets.

    per-netns table   [0   - 255] : pathname & unnamed sockets
                      [256 - 511] : abstract sockets
    bsd_socket_table  [0   - 255] : pathname sockets (sk_bind_node)

We have run a test that bind()s 100,000 abstract/pathname sockets for
each, bind()s an abstract socket 100,000 times and measures the time
on __unix_find_socket_byname().  The result shows that the patch makes
each lookup faster.

  Without this patch:
    $ sudo ./funclatency -p 2278 --microseconds __unix_find_socket_byname.isra.44
     usec                : count    distribution

README

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.
