Subject: [PATCH v2 net 4/5] ipv4: icmp: icmpv4_xrlim_allow() optimization if net.ipv4.icmp_ratelimit is zero
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 14:28:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216142832.3834174-5-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260216142832.3834174-1-edumazet@google.com>

If net.ipv4.icmp_ratelimit is zero, we do not have to call
inet_getpeer_v4() and inet_peer_xrlim_allow().

Both can be very expensive under DDOS.
