Miller" , Thomas Graf , Pravin B Shelar , Jiri Benc , Hannes Frederic Sowa , Tom Herbert , Sergei Shtylyov To: netdev@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from mx1.redhat.com ([209.132.183.28]:55845 "EHLO mx1.redhat.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1750820AbcBLOoS (ORCPT ); Fri, 12 Feb 2016 09:44:18 -0500 Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: This patch series try to unify the dst cache implementations currently present in the kernel, namely in ip_tunnel.c and ip6_tunnel.c, introducing a new generic implementation, replacing the existing ones, and then using the new implementation in other tunnel devices which currently lack it. The new dst implementation is compiled, as built-in, only if any device using it is enabled. Caching the dst for the tunnel remote address gives small, but measurable, performance improvement when tunneling over ipv4 (in the 2%-4% range) and significant ones when tunneling over ipv6 (roughly 60% when no fragmentation/segmentation take place and the tunnel local address is not specified). v2: - move the vxlan dst_cache usage inside the device lookup functions - fix usage after free for lwt tunnel moving the dst cache storage inside the dst_metadata, - sparse codying style cleanup Paolo Abeni (7): net: add dst_cache support net: replace dst_cache ip6_tunnel implementation with the generic one ip_tunnel: replace dst_cache with generic implementation net: use dst_cache for vxlan device net: add dst_cache to ovs vxlan lwtunnel geneve: add dst caching support net/ipv4: add dst cache support for gre lwtunnels drivers/net/geneve.c | 39 ++++++++++ drivers/net/vxlan.c | 56 ++++++++++++-- include/net/dst_cache.h | 97 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/net/dst_metadata.h | 1 + include/net/ip6_tunnel.h | 14 +--- include/net/ip_tunnels.h | 12 ++- include/net/vxlan.h | 1 + net/Kconfig | 4 + net/core/Makefile | 1 + net/core/dst.c | 10 ++- net/core/dst_cache.c | 168 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ net/ipv4/Kconfig | 1 + net/ipv4/ip_gre.c | 13 +++- net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.c | 78 ++++--------------- net/ipv6/Kconfig | 1 + net/ipv6/ip6_gre.c | 12 +-- net/ipv6/ip6_tunnel.c | 103 ++----------------------- net/ipv6/ip6_vti.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/sit.c | 17 +++-- net/openvswitch/Kconfig | 1 + net/openvswitch/flow_netlink.c | 6 ++ 21 files changed, 429 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/net/dst_cache.h create mode 100644 net/core/dst_cache.c -- 1.8.3.1
