    bridge: move to workqueue gc · f7cdee8a
    Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
    Move the fdb garbage collector to a workqueue which fires at least 10
    milliseconds apart and cleans chain by chain allowing for other tasks
    to run in the meantime. When having thousands of fdbs the system is much
    more responsive. Most importantly remove the need to check if the
    matched entry has expired in __br_fdb_get that causes false-sharing and
    is completely unnecessary if we cleanup entries, at worst we'll get 10ms
    of traffic for that entry before it gets deleted.
