gro_cells: avoid using synchronize_rcu() in gro_cells_destroy()
Another thing making netns dismantles potentially very slow is located in gro_cells_destroy(), whenever cleanup_net() has to remove a device using gro_cells framework. RTNL is not held at this stage, so synchronize_net() is calling synchronize_rcu(): netdev_run_todo() ip_tunnel_dev_free() gro_cells_destroy() synchronize_net() synchronize_rcu() // Ouch. This patch uses call_rcu(), and gave me a 25x performance improvement in my tests. cleanup_net() is no longer blocked ~10 ms per synchronize_rcu() call. In the case we could not allocate the memory needed to queue the deferred free, use synchronize_rcu_expedited() v2: made percpu_free_defer_callback() static Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220220041155.607637-1-eric.dumazet@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
