Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 1/2] ipv4: Batch rt_flush_dev() in netdev_run_todo().
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 20:15:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929201546.1533268-2-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929201546.1533268-1-kuniyu@google.com>
IPv4 uncached routes are linked to the global per-cpu lists,
rt_uncached_list.
When unregistering a netdev, rt_flush_dev() iterates over the
potentially long lists to find uncached routes tied to the device
and swap it with blackhole_netdev.
Since it is called for every device in dying netns under RTNL,
it adds O(N_dev x (N_cpu + N_route)) costs to any batched device
unregistration.
Let's call it once per batched device unregistration without RTNL.
Note that rt_flush_dev() must be called after setting dev->reg_state
to NETREG_UNREGISTERED. Otherwise, because rt_flush_dev(NULL) runs
without RTNL, it could race with unregister_netdevice_many_notify()
and prematurely purge routes for NETREG_UNREGISTERING dev, for
which flush_all_backlogs() has not been called yet.
