Eric Dumazet 7433819a1e tcp: do not create inetpeer on SYNACK message
Another problem on SYNFLOOD/DDOS attack is the inetpeer cache getting
larger and larger, using lots of memory and cpu time.

tcp_v4_send_synack()
->inet_csk_route_req()
 ->ip_route_output_flow()
  ->rt_set_nexthop()
   ->rt_init_metrics()
    ->inet_getpeer( create = true)

This is a side effect of commit a4daad6b09 (net: Pre-COW metrics for
TCP) added in 2.6.39

Possible solution :

Instruct inet_csk_route_req() to remove FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS

Before patch :

# grep peer /proc/slabinfo
inet_peer_cache   4175430 4175430    192   42    2 : tunables    0    0    0 : slabdata  99415  99415      0
