Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 0/5] ip: Batch flushing uncached routes for dying netns.
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 20:23:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927202429.2452589-1-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
Chris J Arges reported high RTNL contention during cleanup_net()
caused by rt_flush_dev() and rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() iterating
over the global per-cpu uncached route lists for every netdev in
dying netns [0].
This series resolves the issue by introducing a new ->pre_exit_batch()
hook in struct pernet_operations and batching the uncached route
cleanup once per cleanup_net() without holding RTNL.
[0]: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260917-hash-bucket-route-lists-v3-0-30493a37b6eb@cloudflare.com/
Kuniyuki Iwashima (5):
net: Remove net->is_dying.
net: Add ->pre_exit_batch() to struct pernet_operations.
net: Track state in ops_undo_list().
ipv4: Batch rt_flush_dev() for dying netns.
ipv6: Batch rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() for dying netns.
