This patch introduces new memory accounting functions for each network
protocol. Most of them are renamed from memory accounting functions
for stream protocols. At the same time, some stream memory accounting
functions are removed since other functions do same thing.
Renaming:
sk_stream_free_skb() -> sk_wmem_free_skb()
__sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> __sk_mem_reclaim()
sk_stream_mem_reclaim() -> sk_mem_reclaim()
sk_stream_mem_schedule -> __sk_mem_schedule()
sk_stream_pages() -> sk_mem_pages()
sk_stream_rmem_schedule() -> sk_rmem_schedule()
sk_stream_wmem_schedule() -> sk_wmem_schedule()
sk_charge_skb() -> sk_mem_charge()
Removeing
sk_stream_rfree(): consolidates into sock_rfree()
sk_stream_set_owner_r(): consolidates into skb_set_owner_r()
sk_stream_mem_schedule()
The following functions are added.
sk_has_account(): check if the protocol supports accounting
sk_mem_uncharge(): do the opposite of sk_mem_charge()
In addition, to achieve consolidation, updating sk_wmem_queued is
removed from sk_mem_charge().
Next, to consolidate memory accounting functions, this patch adds
memory accounting calls to network core functions. Moreover, present
memory accounting call is renamed to new accounting call.
Finally we replace present memory accounting calls with new interface
in TCP and SCTP.

If snd_wnd - snd_nxt wasn't multiple of MSS, skb was split on
odd boundary by the callers of tcp_window_allows.
We try really hard to avoid unnecessary modulos. Therefore the
old caller side check "if (skb->len < limit)" was too wide as
well because limit is not bound in any way to skb->len and can
cause spurious testing for trimming in the middle of the queue
while we only wanted that to happen at the tail of the queue.
A simple additional caller side check for tcp_write_queue_tail
would likely have resulted 2 x modulos because the limit would
have to be first calculated from window, however, doing that
unnecessary modulo is not mandatory. After a minor change to
the algorithm, simply determine first if the modulo is needed
at all and at that point immediately decide also from which
value it should be calculated from.
This approach also kills some duplicated code.

Key points of this patch are:
- In case new SACK information is advance only type, no skb
processing below previously discovered highest point is done
- Optimize cases below highest point too since there's no need
to always go up to highest point (which is very likely still
present in that SACK), this is not entirely true though
because I'm dropping the fastpath_skb_hint which could
previously optimize those cases even better. Whether that's
significant, I'm not too sure.
Currently it will provide skipping by walking. Combined with
RB-tree, all skipping would become fast too regardless of window
size (can be done incrementally later).
Previously a number of cases in TCP SACK processing fails to
take advantage of costly stored information in sack_recv_cache,
most importantly, expected events such as cumulative ACK and new
hole ACKs. Processing on such ACKs result in rather long walks
building up latencies (which easily gets nasty when window is
huge). Those latencies are often completely unnecessary
compared with the amount of _new_ information received, usually
for cumulative ACK there's no new information at all, yet TCP
walks whole queue unnecessary potentially taking a number of
costly cache misses on the way, etc.!
Since the inclusion of highest_sack, there's a lot information
that is very likely redundant (SACK fastpath hint stuff,
fackets_out, highest_sack), though there's no ultimate guarantee
that they'll remain the same whole the time (in all unearthly
scenarios). Take advantage of this knowledge here and drop
fastpath hint and use direct access to highest SACKed skb as
a replacement.
Effectively "special cased" fastpath is dropped. This change
adds some complexity to introduce better coveraged "fastpath",
though the added complexity should make TCP behave more cache
friendly.
The current ACK's SACK blocks are compared against each cached
block individially and only ranges that are new are then scanned
by the high constant walk. For other parts of write queue, even
when in previously known part of the SACK blocks, a faster skip
function is used (if necessary at all). In addition, whenever
possible, TCP fast-forwards to highest_sack skb that was made
available by an earlier patch. In typical case, no other things
but this fast-forward and mandatory markings after that occur
making the access pattern quite similar to the former fastpath
"special case".
DSACKs are special case that must always be walked.
The local to recv_sack_cache copying could be more intelligent
w.r.t DSACKs which are likely to be there only once but that
is left to a separate patch.

FIN seqno may be included to write_seq but it should not make
any significant difference here compared to skb->len which was
used previously. One won't end up there with SYN still queued.

It seems that the checked range for receiver window check should
begin from the first rather than from the last skb that is going
to be included to the probe. And that can be achieved without
reference to skbs at all, snd_nxt and write_seq provides the
correct seqno already. Plus, it SHOULD account packets that are
necessary to trigger fast retransmit [RFC4821].
Location of snd_wnd < probe_size/size_needed check is bogus
because it will cause the other if() match as well (due to
snd_nxt >= snd_una invariant).

1) Passing wrong skb to tcp_adjust_fackets_out could corrupt
fastpath_cnt_hint as tcp_skb_pcount(next_skb) is not included
to it if hint points exactly to the next_skb (it's lagging
behind, see sacktag).
2) When fastpath_skb_hint is put backwards to avoid dangling
skb reference, the skb's pcount must also be removed from count
(not included like above).

In general, it should not be necessary to call tcp_fragment for
already SACKed skbs, but it's better to be safe than sorry. And
indeed, it can be called from sacktag when a DSACK arrives or
some ACK (with SACK) reordering occurs (sacktag could be made
to avoid the call in the latter case though I'm not sure if it's
worth of the trouble and added complexity to cover such marginal
case).
The collapse case has return for SACKED_ACKED case earlier, so
just WARN_ON if internal inconsistency is detected for some
reason.

Previously code had IsReno/IsFack defined as macros that were
local to tcp_input.c though sack_ok field has user elsewhere too
for the same purpose. This changes them to static inlines as
preferred according the current coding style and unifies the
access to sack_ok across multiple files. Magic bitops of sack_ok
for FACK and DSACK are also abstracted to functions with
appropriate names.
Note:
- One sack_ok = 1 remains but that's self explanary, i.e., it
enables sack
- Couple of !IsReno cases are changed to tcp_is_sack
- There were no users for IsDSack => I dropped it

Left_out was dropped a while ago, thus leaving verifying
consistency of the "left out" as only task for the function in
question. Thus make it's name more appropriate.
In addition, it is intentionally converted to #define instead
of static inline because the location of the invariant failure
is the most important thing to have if this ever triggers. I
think it would have been helpful e.g. in this case where the
location of the failure point had to be based on some quesswork:
