Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] ipv4: speedup inet_dump_ifaddr()
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:11:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AFC1798.1060501@gmail.com> (raw)

When handling large number of netdevices, inet_dump_ifaddr()
is very slow because it has O(N^2) complexity.

Instead of scanning one single list, we can use the NETDEV_HASHENTRIES
sub lists of the dev_index hash table, and RCU lookups.
