From: Jim Cromie <[email protected]> Embed a struct folio_scratchpad inside struct nftables_pernet to support variable-sized region allocations and O(1) bulk teardown for Netfilter batch transactions.
Route nft_trans_alloc allocations directly to folio_scratchpad_alloc_bytes(), releasing all transaction objects in O(1) bulk via folio_scratchpad_free() during commit/abort cleanup workers. Controlled in-kernel ftrace function profiling on 10,015 netfilter batch transaction allocations demonstrates ~12% faster allocation and ~7.6% faster destroy worker teardown compared to standard SLUB.
