This test populates the bhash table for a given port with
MAX_THREADS * MAX_CONNECTIONS sockets, and then times how long
a bind request on the port takes.
When populating the bhash table, we create the sockets and then bind
the sockets to the same address and port (SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT
are set). When timing how long a bind on the port takes, we bind on a
different address without SO_REUSEPORT set. We do not set SO_REUSEPORT
because we are interested in the case where the bind request does not
go through the tb->fastreuseport path, which is fragile (eg
tb->fastreuseport path does not work if binding with a different uid).
To run the script:
Usage: ./bind_bhash.sh [-6 | -4] [-p port] [-a address]
6: use ipv6
4: use ipv4
port: Port number
address: ip address
Without any arguments, ./bind_bhash.sh defaults to ipv6 using ip address
"2001:0db8:0:f101::1" on port 443.
On my local machine, I see:
ipv4:
before - 0.002317 seconds
with bhash2 - 0.000020 seconds
ipv6:
before - 0.002431 seconds
with bhash2 - 0.000021 seconds

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 Restructured Text 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.
