/**
 * DOC: Theory of Operation - allocating and freeing flow entries
 *
 * Flows are entries in flowtab[]. We need to routinely scan the whole table to
 * perform deferred bookkeeping tasks on active entries, and sparse empty slots
 * waste time and worsen data locality.  But, keeping the table fully compact by
 * moving entries on deletion is fiddly: it requires updating hash tables, and
 * the epoll references to flows. Instead, we implement the compromise described
 * below.
 *
 * Free clusters
 *    A "free cluster" is a contiguous set of unused (FLOW_TYPE_NONE) entries in
 *    flowtab[].  The first entry in each cluster contains metadata ('free'
 *    field in union flow), specifically the number of entries in the cluster
 *    (free.n), and the index of the next free cluster (free.next).  The entries
 *    in the cluster other than the first should have n == next == 0.
 *
 * Free cluster list
 *    flow_first_free gives the index of the first (lowest index) free cluster.
 *    Each free cluster has the index of the next free cluster, or MAX_FLOW if
 *    it is the last free cluster.  Together these form a linked list of free
 *    clusters, in strictly increasing order of index.
 *
 * Allocating
 *    We always allocate a new flow into the lowest available index, i.e. the
 *    first entry of the first free cluster, that is, at index flow_first_free.
 *    We update flow_first_free and the free cluster to maintain the invariants
 *    above (so the free cluster list is still in strictly increasing order).
 *
 * Freeing
 *    It's not possible to maintain the invariants above if we allow freeing of
 *    any entry at any time.  So we only allow freeing in two cases.
 *
 *    1) flow_alloc_cancel() will free the most recent allocation.  We can
 *    maintain the invariants because we know that allocation was made in the
 *    lowest available slot, and so will become the lowest index free slot again
 *    after cancellation.
 *
 *    2) Flows can be freed by returning true from the flow type specific
 *    deferred or timer function.  These are called from flow_defer_handler()
 *    which is already scanning the whole table in index order.  We can use that
 *    to rebuild the free cluster list correctly, either merging them into
 *    existing free clusters or creating new free clusters in the list for them.
 *
 * Scanning the table
 *    Theoretically, scanning the table requires FLOW_MAX iterations.  However,
 *    when we encounter the start of a free cluster, we can immediately skip
 *    past it, meaning that in practice we only need (number of active
 *    connections) + (number of free clusters) iterations.
