Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: only run neigh_forced_gc() from one cpu
Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:27:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348046827.26523.571.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

With multiqueue NIC or RPS, we can have situation where all cpus are
spending huge amount of cycles in neigh_forced_gc(), and machine can
crash.

Since we are under probable attack, its better to let only one cpu
do the scan, and other cpus immediately return from neigh_forced_gc()
