Gilad Naaman says: ==================== Improve neigh_flush_dev performance This patchsets improves the performance of neigh_flush_dev. Currently, the only way to implement it requires traversing all neighbours known to the kernel, across all network-namespaces. This means that some flows are slowed down as a function of neigh-scale, even if the specific link they're handling has little to no neighbours. In order to solve this, this patchset adds a netdev->neighbours list, as well as making the original linked-list doubly-, so that it is possible to unlink neighbours without traversing the hash-bucket to obtain the previous neighbour. The original use-case we encountered was mass-deletion of links (12K VLANs) while there are 50K ARPs and 50K NDPs in the system; though the slowdowns would also appear when the links are set down. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241107160444.2913124-1-gnaaman@drivenets.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
