Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 05/11] net: ovpn: convert ovpn_udp{4,6}_output to use a noref dst
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2026 17:29:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260113162954.5948-6-mmietus97@yahoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260113162954.5948-1-mmietus97@yahoo.com>
ovpn_udp{4,6}_output unnecessarily reference the dst_entry from the
dst_cache when interacting with the cache.
Reduce this overhead by avoiding the redundant refcount increments.
These changes are safe as both ipv4 and ip6 support noref xmit under RCU
which is already the case for ovpn.
