Problems in the current dst_entry cache in the ip6_tunnel: 1. ip6_tnl_dst_set is racy. There is no lock to protect it: - One major problem is that the dst refcnt gets messed up. F.e. the same dst_cache can be released multiple times and then triggering the infamous dst refcnt < 0 warning message. - Another issue is the inconsistency between dst_cache and dst_cookie. It can be reproduced by adding and removing the ip6gre tunnel while running a super_netperf TCP_CRR test. 2. ip6_tnl_dst_get does not take the dst refcnt before returning the dst. This patch: 1. Create a percpu dst_entry cache in ip6_tnl 2. Use a spinlock to protect the dst_cache operations 3. ip6_tnl_dst_get always takes the dst refcnt before returning Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
