commit cdcc4e46180df8161f4d2f3c6fd6beaf6990133d upstream.
IPVS configuration paths update destination availability while connection
accounting updates destination overload state. The two independent states
share dest->flags, so their read-modify-write updates can race and lose one
another.
Keep OVERLOAD in flags, where the preceding patch serializes its updates
with dst_lock, and move AVAILABLE to cflags. This keeps configuration-
controlled availability out of the scheduler hot cacheline until a
scheduler needs to check it. It also prevents availability updates from
clobbering overload state.
The destination status bits are not exposed through the IPVS sockopt or
netlink interfaces, so keep their definitions in the internal IPVS header.
Readers can still observe stale destination state; this does not provide a
cross-field snapshot.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
