Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net: speedup netns create/delete time When rate of netns creation/deletion is high enough, we observe softlockups in cleanup_net() caused by huge list of netns and way too many rcu_barrier() calls. This patch series does some optimizations in kobject, and add batching to tunnels so that netns dismantles are less costly. IPv6 addrlabels also get a per netns list, and tcp_metrics also benefit from batch flushing. This gives me one order of magnitude gain. (~50 ms -> ~5 ms for one netns create/delete pair) Tested: for i in `seq 1 40` do (for j in `seq 1 100` ; do unshare -n /bin/true >/dev/null ; done) & done wait ; grep net_namespace /proc/slabinfo Before patch series : $ time ./add_del_unshare.sh net_namespace 116 258 5504 1 2 : tunables 8 4 0 : slabdata 116 258 0 real 3m24.910s user 0m0.747s sys 0m43.162s After : $ time ./add_del_unshare.sh net_namespace 135 291 5504 1 2 : tunables 8 4 0 : slabdata 135 291 0 real 0m22.117s user 0m0.728s sys 0m35.328s ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
