Date: Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:46:03 -0800 From: ebiederm@...ssion.com (Eric W. Biederman) To: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: <netdev@...r.kernel.org>, jamal <hadi@...erus.ca>, Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@...ibm.com>, Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@...il.com>, Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net> Subject: [PATCH 0/20] Batch network namespace cleanup Recently Jamal and Daniel perform some experiments and found that large numbers of network namespace exiting simultaneously is very inefficient. 24+ minutes in some configurations. The cpu overhead was negligible but it results in long hold times of net_mutex, and memory being consumed a long time after the last user has gone away. I looked into it and discovered that by batching network namespace cleanups I can reduce the time for 4k network namespaces exiting from 5-7 minutes in my configuration to 44 seconds. This patch series is my set of changes to the network namespace core and associated cleanups to allow for network namespace batching.
