Kuniyuki Iwashima efc6b6f6c3 udp: Improve load balancing for SO_REUSEPORT.
Currently, SO_REUSEPORT does not work well if connected sockets are in a
UDP reuseport group.

Then reuseport_has_conns() returns true and the result of
reuseport_select_sock() is discarded. Also, unconnected sockets have the
same score, hence only does the first unconnected socket in udp_hslot
always receive all packets sent to unconnected sockets.

So, the result of reuseport_select_sock() should be used for load
balancing.

The noteworthy point is that the unconnected sockets placed after
connected sockets in sock_reuseport.socks will receive more packets than
others because of the algorithm in reuseport_select_sock().

    index | connected | reciprocal_scale | result
    ---------------------------------------------
    0     | no        | 20%              | 40%
    1     | no        | 20%              | 20%
    2     | yes       | 20%              | 0%
    3     | no        | 20%              | 40%
    4     | yes       | 20%              | 0%

If most of the sockets are connected, this can be a problem, but it still
works better than now.

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.
