On MPTCP-level ack reception, the packet scheduler
may select a subflow other then the current one.
Prior to this commit we rely on the workqueue to trigger
action on such subflow.
This changeset introduces an infrastructure that allows
any MPTCP subflow to schedule actions (MPTCP xmit) on
others subflows without resorting to (multiple) process
reschedule.
A dummy NAPI instance is used instead. When MPTCP needs to
trigger action an a different subflow, it enqueues the target
subflow on the NAPI backlog and schedule such instance as needed.
The dummy NAPI poll method walks the sockets backlog and tries
to acquire the (BH) socket lock on each of them. If the socket
is owned by the user space, the action will be completed by
the sock release cb, otherwise push is started.
This change leverages the delegated action infrastructure
to avoid invoking the MPTCP worker to spool the pending data,
when the packet scheduler picks a subflow other then the one
currently processing the incoming MPTCP-level ack.
Additionally we further refine the subflow selection
invoking the packet scheduler for each chunk of data
even inside __mptcp_subflow_push_pending().
v1 -> v2:
- fix possible UaF at shutdown time, resetting sock ops
after removing the ulp context
