Subject: [PATCH v2] net: skip genenerating uevents for network namespaces that are exiting
No one can see these events, because a network namespace can not be
destroyed, if it has sockets.
Unlike other devices, uevent-s for network devices are generated
only inside their network namespaces. They are filtered in
kobj_bcast_filter()
My experiments shows that net namespaces are destroyed more 30% faster
with this optimization.
Here is a perf output for destroying network namespaces without this
patch.
- 94.76% 0.02% kworker/u48:1 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cleanup_net
- 94.74% cleanup_net
- 94.64% ops_exit_list.isra.4
- 41.61% default_device_exit_batch
- 41.47% unregister_netdevice_many
- rollback_registered_many
- 40.36% netdev_unregister_kobject
- 14.55% device_del
+ 13.71% kobject_uevent
- 13.04% netdev_queue_update_kobjects
+ 12.96% kobject_put
- 12.72% net_rx_queue_update_kobjects
kobject_put
- kobject_release
+ 12.69% kobject_uevent
+ 0.80% call_netdevice_notifiers_info
+ 19.57% nfsd_exit_net
+ 11.15% tcp_net_metrics_exit
+ 8.25% rpcsec_gss_exit_net
It's very critical to optimize the exit path for network namespaces,
because they are destroyed under net_mutex and many namespaces can be
destroyed for one iteration.
v2: use dev_set_uevent_suppress()
