net,rcu: convert call_rcu(dn_dev_free_ifa_rcu) to kfree_rcu()

2011-05-08T05:50:53+00:00

The rcu callback dn_dev_free_ifa_rcu() just calls a kfree(),
so we use kfree_rcu() instead of the call_rcu(dn_dev_free_ifa_rcu).

net: dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks

2011-05-02T22:26:28+00:00

Four years ago, Patrick made a change to hold rtnl mutex during netlink
dump callbacks.

I believe it was a wrong move. This slows down concurrent dumps, making
good old /proc/net/ files faster than rtnetlink in some situations.

This occurred to me because one "ip link show dev ..." was _very_ slow
on a workload adding/removing network devices in background.

All dump callbacks are able to use RCU locking now, so this patch does
roughly a revert of commits :

1c2d670f366 : [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks
6313c1e0992 : [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks

This let writers fight for rtnl mutex and readers going full speed.

It also takes care of phonet : phonet_route_get() is now called from rcu
read section. I renamed it to phonet_route_get_rcu()

net: Use non-zero allocations in dst_alloc().

2011-04-29T05:26:00+00:00

Make dst_alloc() and it's users explicitly initialize the entire
entry.

The zero'ing done by kmem_cache_zalloc() was almost entirely
redundant.

net: Make dst_alloc() take more explicit initializations.

2011-04-29T05:25:59+00:00

Now the dst->dev, dev->obsolete, and dst->flags values can
be specified as well.

decnet: Don't leak entries when rebuilding zone.

2011-04-18T03:47:07+00:00

As noticed by Ben Hutchings, when we move entries from
one table to another we leak all except the first entry.

Put back the "next" variable removed by commit
9bf9055eb716f85372c41b3fbc51f90bc7653740 ("decnet: Fix set-but-unused
variable.") and use it properly.

decnet: Fix set-but-unused variable.

"next" in dn_rebuild_zone() is set but not actually used,
kill it off.

net: Put flowi_* prefix on AF independent members of struct flowi

2011-03-12T23:08:44+00:00

I intend to turn struct flowi into a union of AF specific flowi
structs.  There will be a common structure that each variant includes
first, much like struct sock_common.

This is the first step to move in that direction.

Instead of on the stack.
