Subject: [PATCH net 1/9] Revert "netfilter: x_tables: Update remaining dereference to RCU"
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2021 02:06:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210319010608.9758-2-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210319010608.9758-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Mark Tomlinson <mark.tomlinson@alliedtelesis.co.nz>
This reverts commit 443d6e86f821a165fae3fc3fc13086d27ac140b1.
This (and the following) patch basically re-implemented the RCU
mechanisms of patch 784544739a25. That patch was replaced because of the
performance problems that it created when replacing tables. Now, we have
the same issue: the call to synchronize_rcu() makes replacing tables
slower by as much as an order of magnitude.
Revert these patches and fix the issue in a different way.
