From 1ebb85f9c03de0b66c334de219f224159e24e549 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2024 15:31:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: conntrack: expedite rcu in nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() is calling synchronize_net() while RTNL is not held. This effectively calls synchronize_rcu(). synchronize_rcu() is much slower than synchronize_rcu_expedited(), and cleanup_net() is currently single threaded. In many workloads we want cleanup_net() to be faster, in order to free memory and various sysfs and procfs entries as fast as possible.
