From d0dba7255b541f1651a88e75ebdb20dd45509c2f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Holger Eitzenberger Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 18:24:48 +0100 Subject: netfilter: ctnetlink: add callbacks to the per-proto nlattrs There is added a single callback for the l3 proto helper. The two callbacks for the l4 protos are necessary because of the general structure of a ctnetlink event, which is in short: CTA_TUPLE_ORIG CTA_TUPLE_REPLY CTA_ID ... CTA_PROTOINFO CTA_TUPLE_MASTER Therefore the formular is size := sizeof(generic-nlas) + 3 * sizeof(tuple_nlas) + sizeof(protoinfo_nlas) Some of the NLAs are optional, e. g. CTA_TUPLE_MASTER, which is only set if it's an expected connection. But the number of optional NLAs is small enough to prevent netlink_trim() from reallocating if calculated properly.

This permits an easy conversion from call_rcu() based hash lists to a SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU one. Avoiding call_rcu() delay at nf_conn freeing time has numerous gains. First, it doesnt fill RCU queues (up to 10000 elements per cpu). This reduces OOM possibility, if queued elements are not taken into account This reduces latency problems when RCU queue size hits hilimit and triggers emergency mode. - It allows fast reuse of just freed elements, permitting better use of CPU cache. - We delete rcu_head from "struct nf_conn", shrinking size of this structure by 8 or 16 bytes. This patch only takes care of "struct nf_conn". call_rcu() is still used for less critical conntrack parts, that may be converted later if necessary.
