While destroying netns, we call inet_twsk_purge() in tcp_sk_exit_batch()
and tcpv6_net_exit_batch() for AF_INET and AF_INET6. These commands
trigger the kernel to walk through the potentially big ehash twice even
though the netns has no TIME_WAIT sockets.
# ip netns add test
# ip netns del test
or
# unshare -n /bin/true >/dev/null
When tw_refcount is 1, we need not call inet_twsk_purge() at least
for the net. We can save such unneeded iterations if all netns in
net_exit_list have no TIME_WAIT sockets. This change eliminates
the tax by the additional unshare() described in the next patch to
guarantee the per-netns ehash size.
Tested:
# mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
# echo cleanup_net > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# echo inet_twsk_purge >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
# cat ./add_del_unshare.sh
for i in `seq 1 40`
do
(for j in `seq 1 100` ; do unshare -n /bin/true >/dev/null ; done) &
done
wait;
# ./add_del_unshare.sh
