[newlib 42/65] Filter TCP connections to SO_REUSEPORT_LB listen sockets by NUMA domain

[Sebastian Huber]

From: Andrew Gallatin <gallatin at FreeBSD.org>

In order to efficiently serve web traffic on a NUMA
machine, one must avoid as many NUMA domain crossings as
possible. With SO_REUSEPORT_LB, a number of workers can share a
listen socket. However, even if a worker sets affinity to a core
or set of cores on a NUMA domain, it will receive connections
associated with all NUMA domains in the system. This will lead to
cross-domain traffic when the server writes to the socket or
calls sendfile(), and memory is allocated on the server's local
NUMA node, but transmitted on the NUMA node associated with the
TCP connection. Similarly, when the server reads from the socket,
he will likely be reading memory allocated on the NUMA domain
associated with the TCP connection.

This change provides a new socket ioctl, TCP_REUSPORT_LB_NUMA. A
server can now tell the kernel to filter traffic so that only
incoming connections associated with the desired NUMA domain are
given to the server. (Of course, in the case where there are no
servers sharing the listen socket on some domain, then as a
fallback, traffic will be hashed as normal to all servers sharing
the listen socket regardless of domain). This allows a server to
deal only with traffic that is local to its NUMA domain, and
avoids cross-domain traffic in most cases.

This patch, and a corresponding small patch to nginx to use
TCP_REUSPORT_LB_NUMA allows us to serve 190Gb/s of kTLS encrypted
https media content from dual-socket Xeons with only 13% (as
measured by pcm.x) cross domain traffic on the memory controller.
