Subject: [v2 000/115] faster tree-based sysctl implementation
This patch series introduces a faster/leaner sysctl internal implementation:
$ time modprobe dummy numdummies=N
Without this patch series :(
- ipv4 only
- N=1000 time= 0m 06s
- N=2000 time= 0m 30s
- N=4000 time= 2m 35s
- ipv4 and ipv6
- N=1000 time= 0m 24s
- N=2000 time= 2m 14s
- N=4000 time=10m 16s
- N=5000 time=16m 3s
With this patch series :)
- ipv4 only
- N=1000 time= 0m 0.33s
- N=2000 time= 0m 1.25s
- N=4000 time= 0m 5.31s
- ipv4 and ipv6
- N=1000 time= 0m 0.41s
- N=2000 time= 0m 1.62s
- N=4000 time= 0m 7.64s
- N=5000 time= 0m 12.35s
- N=8000 time= 0m 36.95s
Since v1 (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1133667):
- rebased on top of 2.6.39-rc6
- split the patch that adds the new algorithm and data structures.
- fixed a few bugs lingering in the old code
- shrinked a reference counter
- added a new reference counter to maintain ownership information
- added method to register an empty sysctl dir and converted some users
- added checks enforcing the rule that a non-netns specific directory may
not be registered after a netns specific one has already been registered.
- added cookie support: register a piece of data with the header to be
used to make simple conversions on the ctl_table. This saves memory where
we need to register sysctl tables with the same content affecting
different pieces of data.
- enforced sysctl checks
Eric also asked for:
- registration based on strings, not the ctl_path version
-- I did not add this at the moment because of lack of time and,
if needed, this can be added any time later. The patch series
is long enogh.
- replacing the per-header list of subdirs with a rbtree.
-- Again, lack of time, and this can always be added at a later time
to optimize lookup and duplicate checks. At the moment this patch
series does not add a complexity regression over the previous
implementation, au contraire.
