inetpeer: reduce false sharing and atomic operations
After commit
8c2bd38b95f7 ("icmp: change the order of rate limits"),
there is a risk that a host receiving packets from an unique
source targeting closed ports is using a common inet_peer structure
from many cpus.
All these cpus have to acquire/release a refcount and update
the inet_peer timestamp (p->dtime)
Switch to pure RCU to avoid changing the refcount, and update
p->dtime only once per jiffy.
Tested:
DUT : 128 cores, 32 hw rx queues.
receiving 8,400,000 UDP packets per second, targeting closed ports.
Before the series:
- napi poll can not keep up, NIC drops 1,200,000 packets
per second.
- We use 20 % of cpu cycles
After this series:
- All packets are received (no more hw drops)
- We use 12 % of cpu cycles.
