[PATCH nf v4 0/3] ipvs: fix destination overload state updates

[Yizhou Zhao]

IPVS schedulers read destination overload state while connection accounting
and destination configuration can update it concurrently.

The first patch adds a single total connection counter. The second patch
uses it to identify threshold crossings precisely, and updates OVERLOAD at
the crossings and on a threshold edit under dst_lock. The third patch moves
configuration-controlled AVAILABLE to a separate cflags word, so it cannot
clobber OVERLOAD through an unrelated read-modify-write update.

Readers can still observe stale destination state. This series does not
provide a cross-field consistent snapshot.

Changes in v4:
- Add the total connection counter and threshold-crossing overload updates.
- Update OVERLOAD under dst_lock at threshold crossings and destination edits.
- Keep OVERLOAD in dest->flags; drop the flags2/bitops approach.
- Move AVAILABLE to the separate cflags word, avoiding RMW interference
  between availability and overload updates.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netfilter-devel/cover.1783931964.git.zhaoyz24@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
