Florian Westphal 24969facd7 xfrm: policy: store inexact policies in an rhashtable
Switch packet-path lookups for inexact policies to rhashtable.

In this initial version, we now no longer need to search policies with
non-matching address family and type.

Next patch will add the if_id as well so lookups from the xfrm interface
driver only need to search inexact policies for that device.

Future patches will augment the hlist in each rhash bucket with a tree
and pre-sort policies according to daddr/prefix.

A single rhashtable is used.  In order to avoid a full rhashtable walk on
netns exit, the bins get placed on a pernet list, i.e. we add almost no
cost for network namespaces that had no xfrm policies.

The inexact lists are kept in place, and policies are added to both the
per-rhash-inexact list and a pernet one.

The latter is needed for the control plane to handle migrate -- these
requests do not consider the if_id, so if we'd remove the inexact_list
now we would have to search all hash buckets and then figure
out which matching policy candidate is the most recent one -- this appears
a bit harder than just keeping the 'old' inexact list for this purpose.

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.
