Here is rework and cleanup of the resize function.
Some bugs we had. We were using ->parent when we should use
node_parent(). Also we used ->parent which is not assigned by
inflate in inflate loop.
Also a fix to set thresholds to power 2 to fit halve
and double strategy.
max_resize is renamed to max_work which better indicates
it's function.
Reaching max_work is not an error, so warning is removed.
max_work only limits amount of work done per resize.
(limits CPU-usage, outstanding memory etc).
The clean-up makes it relatively easy to add fixed sized
root-nodes if we would like to decrease the memory pressure
on routers with large routing tables and dynamic routing.
If we'll need that...
Its been tested with 280k routes.
Work done together with Robert Olsson.

During large updates there could be triggered warnings like: "Fix
inflate_threshold_root. Now=25 size=11 bits" if inflate() of the root
node isn't finished in 10 loops. It should be much rarer now, after
changing the threshold from 15 to 25, and a temporary problem, so
this patch tries to handle it automatically using a fix variable to
increase by one inflate threshold for next root resizes (up to the 35
limit, max fix = 10). The fix variable is decreased when root's
inflate() finishes below 7 loops (even if some other, smaller table/
trie is updated -- for simplicity the fix variable is global for now).

During trie_rebalance() we free memory after resizing with call_rcu(),
but large updates, especially with PREEMPT_NONE configs, can cause
memory stresses, so this patch calls synchronize_rcu() in
tnode_free_flush() after each sync_pages to guarantee such freeing
(especially before resizing the root node).
The value of sync_pages = 128 is based on Pawel Staszewski's tests as
the lowest which doesn't hinder updating times. (For testing purposes
there was a sysfs module parameter to change it on demand, but it's
removed until we're sure it could be really useful.)

It seems, the current threshold for root resizing is too aggressive,
and it causes misleading warnings during big updates, but it might be
also responsible for memory problems, especially with non-preempt
configs, when RCU freeing is delayed long after call_rcu.
It should be also mentioned that because of non-atomic changes during
resizing/rebalancing the current lookup algorithm can miss valid leaves
so it's additional argument to shorten these activities even at a cost
of a minimally longer searching.
This patch restores values before the patch "[IPV4]: fib_trie root

According to this and other similar reports average depth is slightly
increased (~0.2), and root nodes are shorter (log 17 vs. 18), but
there is no visible performance decrease. So, until memory handling is
improved or added parameters for changing this individually, this
patch resets to safer defaults.

My previous patch, which explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding
them to the list to flush them after the update is finished, isn't
strict enough. It treats exceptionally tnodes without parent, assuming
they are newly created, so "invisible" for the read side yet.
But the top tnode doesn't have parent as well, so we have to exclude
all exceptions (at least until a better way is found). Additionally we
need to move rcu assignment of this node before flushing, so the
return type of the trie_rebalance() function is changed.

While doing trie_rebalance(): resize(), inflate(), halve() RCU free
tnodes before updating their parents. It depends on RCU delaying the
real destruction, but if RCU readers start after call_rcu() and before
parent update they could access freed memory.
It is currently prevented with preempt_disable() on the update side,
but it's not safe, except maybe classic RCU, plus it conflicts with
memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL flag used from these functions.
This patch explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the
list, which is flushed after the update is finished.

Use vmalloc rather than alloc_pages to avoid wasting memory.
The problem is that tnode structure has a power of 2 sized array,
plus a header. So the current code wastes almost half the memory
allocated because it always needs the next bigger size to hold
that small header.
This is similar to an earlier patch by Eric, but instead of a list
and lock, I used a workqueue to handle the fact that vfree can't

This converts dumping (and flushing) of large route tables form O(N^2)
to O(N). If the route dump took multiple pages then the dump routine
gets called again. The old code kept track of location by counter, the
new code instead uses the last key.
This is a really big win ( 0.3 sec vs 12 sec) for big route tables.
One side effect is that if the table changes during the dump, then the
last key will not be found, and we will return -EBUSY.

node_parent() and tnode_get_child() currently use rcu_dereference().
These functions are called from both
- readers only paths (where rcu_dereference() is needed), and
- writer path (where rcu_dereference() is not needed)
To make explicit where rcu_dereference() is really needed, I
introduced new node_parent_rcu() and tnode_get_child_rcu() functions
which use rcu_dereference(), while node_parent() and tnode_get_child()
dont use it.
Then I changed calling sites where rcu_dereference() was really needed
to call the _rcu() variants.
