Hmm... I'll make some experiments Monday and post results, but it seems very
promising.
Do you think the "on_each_cpu(flush_backlog, dev, 1);"
we perform right before calling netdev_wait_allrefs() could be changed
somehow to speedup rcu callbacks ? Maybe we ould avoid sending IPI twice to
cpus ?
Thanks
