From 3ab5aee7fe840b5b1b35a8d1ac11c3de5281e611 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 19:40:17 -0800 Subject: net: Convert TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nulls RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure : - sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the price of call_rcu() at freeing time. - hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers. This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established and timewait sockets. Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case. __inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock) Only established and timewait hashtable are converted to RCU (bind table and listen table are still using traditional locking) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
