Tim Froidcoeur says: ==================== net: initialize fastreuse on inet_inherit_port In the case of TPROXY, bind_conflict optimizations for SO_REUSEADDR or SO_REUSEPORT are broken, possibly resulting in O(n) instead of O(1) bind behaviour or in the incorrect reuse of a bind. the kernel keeps track for each bind_bucket if all sockets in the bind_bucket support SO_REUSEADDR or SO_REUSEPORT in two fastreuse flags. These flags allow skipping the costly bind_conflict check when possible (meaning when all sockets have the proper SO_REUSE option). For every socket added to a bind_bucket, these flags need to be updated. As soon as a socket that does not support reuse is added, the flag is set to false and will never go back to true, unless the bind_bucket is deleted. Note that there is no mechanism to re-evaluate these flags when a socket is removed (this might make sense when removing a socket that would not allow reuse; this leaves room for a future patch). For this optimization to work, it is mandatory that these flags are properly initialized and updated. When a child socket is created from a listen socket in __inet_inherit_port, the TPROXY case could create a new bind bucket without properly initializing these flags, thus preventing the optimization to work. Alternatively, a socket not allowing reuse could be added to an existing bind bucket without updating the flags, causing bind_conflict to never be called as it should. Patch 1/2 refactors the fastreuse update code in inet_csk_get_port into a small helper function, making the actual fix tiny and easier to understand. Patch 2/2 calls this new helper when __inet_inherit_port decides to create a new bind_bucket or use a different bind_bucket than the one of the listen socket. v4: - rebase on latest linux/net master branch v3: - remove company disclaimer from automatic signature v2: - remove unnecessary cast ==================== 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.
