    net: Use rcu lookups in inet_twsk_purge. · 575f4cd5
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    While we are looking up entries to free there is no reason to take
    the lock in inet_twsk_purge.  We have to drop locks and restart
    occassionally anyway so adding a few more in case we get on the
    wrong list because of a timewait move is no big deal.  At the
    same time not taking the lock for long periods of time is much
    more polite to the rest of the users of the hash table.
    
    In my test configuration of killing 4k network namespaces
    this change causes 4k back to back runs of inet_twsk_purge on an
    empty hash table to go from roughly 20.7s to 3.3s, and the total
    time to destroy 4k network namespaces goes from roughly 44s to
    3.3s.
