Kuniyuki Iwashima 97de5a15ed selftest: Don't reuse port for SO_INCOMING_CPU test.
Jakub reported that ASSERT_EQ(cpu, i) in so_incoming_cpu.c seems to
fire somewhat randomly.

  # #  RUN           so_incoming_cpu.before_reuseport.test3 ...
  # # so_incoming_cpu.c:191:test3:Expected cpu (32) == i (0)
  # # test3: Test terminated by assertion
  # #          FAIL  so_incoming_cpu.before_reuseport.test3
  # not ok 3 so_incoming_cpu.before_reuseport.test3

When the test failed, not-yet-accepted CLOSE_WAIT sockets received
SYN with a "challenging" SEQ number, which was sent from an unexpected
CPU that did not create the receiver.

The test basically does:

  1. for each cpu:
    1-1. create a server
    1-2. set SO_INCOMING_CPU

  2. for each cpu:
    2-1. set cpu affinity
    2-2. create some clients
    2-3. let clients connect() to the server on the same cpu
    2-4. close() clients

  3. for each server:
    3-1. accept() all child sockets
    3-2. check if all children have the same SO_INCOMING_CPU with the server

The root cause was the close() in 2-4. and net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse.

In a loop of 2., close() changed the client state to FIN_WAIT_2, and
the peer transitioned to CLOSE_WAIT.

In another loop of 2., connect() happened to select the same port of
the FIN_WAIT_2 socket, and it was reused as the default value of
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse is 2.

As a result, the new client sent SYN to the CLOSE_WAIT socket from
a different CPU, and the receiver's sk_incoming_cpu was overwritten
with unexpected CPU ID.

Also, the SYN had a different SEQ number, so the CLOSE_WAIT socket
responded with Challenge ACK.  The new client properly returned RST
and effectively killed the CLOSE_WAIT socket.

This way, all clients were created successfully, but the error was
detected later by 3-2., ASSERT_EQ(cpu, i).

To avoid the failure, let's make sure that (i) the number of clients
is less than the number of available ports and (ii) such reuse never
happens.

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.
