[TCP/DCCP]: Randomize port selection
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch randomizes the port selected on bind() for connections
to help with possible security attacks. It should also be faster
in most cases because there is no need for a global lock.

/* TODO. Actually it is not so bad idea to remove
* dccp_hashinfo.portalloc_lock before next submission to
* Linus.
* As soon as we touch this place at all it is time to think.
*
* Now it protects single _advisory_ variable
* dccp_hashinfo.port_rover, hence it is mostly useless.
* Code will work nicely if we just delete it, but
* I am afraid in contented case it will work not better or
* even worse: another cpu just will hit the same bucket
* and spin there.
* So some cpu salt could remove both contention and
* memory pingpong. Any ideas how to do this in a nice way?
