Wei Wang says: ==================== ipv6: avoid taking refcnt on dst during route lookup Ipv6 route lookup code always grabs refcnt on the dst for the caller. But for certain cases, grabbing refcnt is not always necessary if the call path is rcu protected and the caller does not cache the dst. Another issue in the route lookup logic is: When there are multiple custom rules, we have to do the lookup into each table associated to each rule individually. And when we can't find the route in one table, we grab and release refcnt on net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry before going to the next table. This operation is completely redundant, and causes false issue because net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry is a shared object. This patch set introduces a new flag RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF for route lookup callers to set, to avoid any manipulation on the dst refcnt. And it converts the major input and output path to use it. The performance gain is noticable. I ran synflood tests between 2 hosts under the same switch. Both hosts have 20G mlx NIC, and 8 tx/rx queues. Sender sends pure SYN flood with random src IPs and ports using trafgen. Receiver has a simple TCP listener on the target port. Both hosts have multiple custom rules: - For incoming packets, only local table is traversed. - For outgoing packets, 3 tables are traversed to find the route. The packet processing rate on the receiver is as follows: - Before the fix: 3.78Mpps - After the fix: 5.50Mpps v2->v3: - Handled fib6_rule_lookup() when CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES is not configured in patch 03 (suggested by David Ahern) - Removed the renaming of l3mdev_link_scope_lookup() in patch 05 (suggested by David Ahern) - Moved definition of ip6_route_output_flags() from an inline function in /net/ipv6/route.c to net/ipv6/route.c in order to address kbuild error in patch 05 v1->v2: - Added a helper ip6_rt_put_flags() in patch 3 suggested by David Miller ==================== Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
