Re: RCU : Use call_rcu_bh() in route cache [3/5]

[Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com>]

Use call_rcu_bh() in route cache. This allows faster grace periods and
avoids dst cache overflows during DoS testing.

Thanks
Dipankar


This patch uses the call_rcu_bh() api in route cache code to
facilitate quicker RCU grace periods. Quicker grace periods
avoid overflow of dst cache in heavily loaded routers as
seen in Robert Olsson's testing.
