This patch backports the following two upstream commits and add a new symbol HAVE_NET_RWSEM in acinclude.m4 to determine whether to use new introduced rw_semaphore, net_rwsem.Upstream commit: commit f0b07bb151b098d291fd1fd71ef7a2df56fb124a Author: Kirill Tkhai <[email protected]> Date: Thu Mar 29 19:20:32 2018 +0300 net: Introduce net_rwsem to protect net_namespace_list rtnl_lock() is used everywhere, and contention is very high. When someone wants to iterate over alive net namespaces, he/she has no a possibility to do that without exclusive lock. But the exclusive rtnl_lock() in such places is overkill, and it just increases the contention. Yes, there is already for_each_net_rcu() in kernel, but it requires rcu_read_lock(), and this can't be sleepable. Also, sometimes it may be need really prevent net_namespace_list growth, so for_each_net_rcu() is not fit there. This patch introduces new rw_semaphore, which will be used instead of rtnl_mutex to protect net_namespace_list. It is sleepable and allows not-exclusive iterations over net namespaces list. It allows to stop using rtnl_lock() in several places (what is made in next patches) and makes less the time, we keep rtnl_mutex. Here we just add new lock, while the explanation of we can remove rtnl_lock() there are in next patches. Fine grained locks generally are better, then one big lock, so let's do that with net_namespace_list, while the situation allows that.

The same with datapath::ports list. So, we remove rtnl_lock() here. Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.

I haven't had a chance to test this but it looks good. Reviewed-by: Greg Rose <[email protected]>
