From 02e4eb75912a5c8babccc1acdc9cc913989be04e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2010 14:35:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: xt_hashlimit: RCU conversion xt_hashlimit uses a central lock per hash table and suffers from contention on some workloads. (Multiqueue NIC or if RPS is enabled) After RCU conversion, central lock is only used when a writer wants to add or delete an entry. For 'readers', updating an existing entry, they use an individual lock per entry. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy --- Reading git-format-patch failed
