busylock was protecting UDP sockets against packet floods, but unfortunately was not protecting the host itself. Under stress, many cpus could spin while acquiring the busylock, and NIC had to drop packets. Or packets would be dropped in cpu backlog if RPS/RFS were in place. This patch replaces the busylock by intermediate lockless queues. (One queue per NUMA node). This means that fewer number of cpus have to acquire the UDP receive queue lock. Most of the cpus can either: - immediately drop the packet. - or queue it in their NUMA aware lockless queue. Then one of the cpu is chosen to process this lockless queue in a batch. The batch only contains packets that were cooked on the same NUMA node, thus with very limited latency impact. Tested: DDOS targeting a victim UDP socket, on a platform with 6 NUMA nodes (Intel(R) Xeon(R) 6985P-C) Before: nstat -n ; sleep 1 ; nstat | grep Udp Udp6InDatagrams 1004179 0.0 Udp6InErrors 3117 0.0 Udp6RcvbufErrors 3117 0.0 After: nstat -n ; sleep 1 ; nstat | grep Udp Udp6InDatagrams |

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
