Subject: [PATCH net-next v7 06/11] wireguard: socket: convert send{4,6} to use a noref dst when possible
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 08:04:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260127070452.6581-7-mmietus97@yahoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260127070452.6581-1-mmietus97@yahoo.com>
send{4,6} unnecessarily reference the dst_entry from the
dst_cache when interacting with the cache.
Reduce this overhead by avoiding the redundant refcount increments.
This is only possible in flows where the cache is used. Otherwise, we
fall-back to a referenced dst.
These changes are safe as both ipv4 and ip6 support noref xmit under RCU
which is already the case for the wireguard send{4,6} functions.
