Subject: [PATCH ipsec-next] xfrm: state lookup can be lockless
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 15:45:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1474379126-32550-1-git-send-email-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
This is called from the packet input path, we get lock contention
if many cpus handle ipsec in parallel.
After recent rcu conversion it is safe to call __xfrm_state_lookup
without the spinlock.
