packet: rollover only to socket with headroom
Only migrate flows to sockets that have sufficient headroom, where
sufficient is defined as having at least 25% empty space.
The kernel has three different buffer types: a regular socket, a ring
with frames (TPACKET_V[12]) or a ring with blocks (TPACKET_V3). The
latter two do not expose a read pointer to the kernel, so headroom is
not computed easily. All three needs a different implementation to
estimate free space.
Tested:
Ran bench_rollover for 10 sec with 1.5 Mpps of single flow input.
bench_rollover has as many sockets as there are NIC receive queues
in the system. Each socket is owned by a process that is pinned to
one of the receive cpus. RFS is disabled. RPS is enabled with an
identity mapping (cpu x -> cpu x), to count drops with softnettop.
