Christophe Leroy reported a ~80ms latency spike happening at first TCP connect() time. This is because __inet_hash_connect() uses get_random_once() to populate a perturbation table which became quite big after commit4c2c8f03a5("tcp: increase source port perturb table to 2^16") get_random_once() uses DO_ONCE(), which block hard irqs for the duration of the operation. This patch adds DO_ONCE_SLOW() which uses a mutex instead of a spinlock for operations where we prefer to stay in process context. Then __inet_hash_connect() can use get_random_slow_once() to populate its perturbation table.

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.
