If driver deleted an FT entry, a FT failed to offload, or registered to the
flow table after flows were already added, we still get packets in
software.
For those packets, while restoring the ct state from the flow table
entry, refresh it's hardware offload.

Provide an API to restore the ct state pointer.
This may be used by drivers to restore the ct state if they
miss in tc chain after they already did the hardware connection
tracking action (ct_metadata action).
For example, consider the following rule on chain 0 that is in_hw,
however chain 1 is not_in_hw:
$ tc filter add dev ... chain 0 ... \
flower ... action ct pipe action goto chain 1
Packets of a flow offloaded (via nf flow table offload) by the driver
hit this rule in hardware, will be marked with the ct metadata action
(mark, label, zone) that does the equivalent of the software ct action,
and when the packet jumps to hardware chain 1, there would be a miss.
CT was already processed in hardware. Therefore, the driver's miss
handling should restore the ct state on the skb, using the provided API,
and continue the packet processing in chain 1.

NF flow table API associate 5-tuple rule with an action list by calling
the flow table type action() CB to fill the rule's actions.
In action CB of act_ct, populate the ct offload entry actions with a new
ct_metadata action. Initialize the ct_metadata with the ct mark, label and
zone information. If ct nat was performed, then also append the relevant
packet mangle actions (e.g. ipv4/ipv6/tcp/udp header rewrites).
Drivers that offload the ft entries may match on the 5-tuple and perform
the action list.

exhausted.
Commit aacd9289af8b82f5fb01bcdd53d0e3406d1333c7 ("tcp: bind() use stronger
condition for bind_conflict") introduced a restriction to forbid to bind
SO_REUSEADDR enabled sockets to the same (addr, port) tuple in order to
assign ports dispersedly so that we can connect to the same remote host.
The change results in accelerating port depletion so that we fail to bind
sockets to the same local port even if we want to connect to the different
remote hosts.
You can reproduce this issue by following instructions below.
1. # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range="32768 32768"
2. set SO_REUSEADDR to two sockets.
3. bind two sockets to (localhost, 0) and the latter fails.
Therefore, when ephemeral ports are exhausted, bind(0) should fallback to
the legacy behaviour to enable the SO_REUSEADDR option and make it possible
to connect to different remote (addr, port) tuples.
This patch allows us to bind SO_REUSEADDR enabled sockets to the same
(addr, port) only when net.ipv4.ip_autobind_reuse is set 1 and all
ephemeral ports are exhausted. This also allows connect() and listen() to
share ports in the following way and may break some applications. So the
ip_autobind_reuse is 0 by default and disables the feature.
1. setsockopt(sk1, SO_REUSEADDR)
2. setsockopt(sk2, SO_REUSEADDR)
3. bind(sk1, saddr, 0)
4. bind(sk2, saddr, 0)
5. connect(sk1, daddr)
6. listen(sk2)
If it is set 1, we can fully utilize the 4-tuples, but we should use
IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT for bind()+connect() as possible.
The notable thing is that if all sockets bound to the same port have
both SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT enabled, we can bind sockets to an
ephemeral port and also do listen().

The variable pie_vars->accu_prob is used as an accumulator for
probability values. Since probabilty values are scaled using the
MAX_PROB macro denoting (2^64 - 1), pie_vars->accu_prob is
likely to overflow as it is of type u64.
The variable pie_vars->accu_prob_overflows counts the number of
times the variable pie_vars->accu_prob overflows.
The MAX_PROB macro needs to be equal to at least (2^39 - 1) in
order to do precise calculations without any underflow. Thus
MAX_PROB can be reduced to (2^56 - 1) without affecting the
precision in calculations drastically. Doing so will eliminate
the need for the variable pie_vars->accu_prob_overflows as the
variable pie_vars->accu_prob will never overflow.
Removing the variable pie_vars->accu_prob_overflows also reduces
the size of the structure pie_vars to exactly 64 bytes.

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
