Minimize packet drop in a fanout group. If one socket is full,
roll over packets to another from the group. The intended use is
to maintain flow affinity during normal load using an rxhash or
cpu fanout policy, while dispersing unexpected traffic storms that
hit a single cpu, such as spoofed-source DoS flows. This mechanism
breaks affinity for flows arriving at saturated sockets during
those conditions.

The patch adds a fanout policy ROLLOVER that rotates between sockets,
filling each socket before moving to the next. It also adds a fanout
flag ROLLOVER. If passed along with any other fanout policy, the
primary policy is applied until the chosen socket is full. Then,
rollover selects another socket, to delay packet drop until the
entire system is saturated.

Probing sockets is not free. Selecting the last used socket, as
rollover does, is a greedy approach that maximizes chance of
success, at the cost of extreme load imbalance. In practice, with
sufficiently long queues to handle rate, sockets are drained in
parallel and load balance looks uniform in `top`.

To avoid contention, scales counters with number of sockets and
accesses them lockfree. Values are bounds checked to ensure
correctness. An alternative would be to use atomic rr_cur.

Tested using an application with 9 threads pinned to CPUs, one socket
per thread and sufficient busywork per packet operation to limits each
thread to handling 32 Kpps. When sent 500 Kpps single UDP stream
packets, a FANOUT_CPU setup processes 32 Kpps in total without this
patch, 270 Kpps with the patch. Tested with read() and with a packet
ring (V1).

Nevermind I see you did this in the second copy you posted.

Please mention that such things have changed below the "---"
seperator so that people can know instead of just guess.

Will do. Apologies for the botched emails, including the html reply
that the list thankfully rejected. I'll write some fanout
documentation for the packet man page as penance.
