Tom Herbert would like not touching UDP socket refcnt for encapsulated traffic. For this to happen, we need to use normal RCU rules, with a grace period before freeing a socket. UDP sockets are not short lived in the high usage case, so the added cost of call_rcu() should not be a concern. This actually removes a lot of complexity in UDP stack. Multicast receives no longer need to hold a bucket spinlock. Note that ip early demux still needs to take a reference on the socket. Same remark for functions used by xt_socket and xt_PROXY netfilter modules, but this might be changed later. Performance for a single UDP socket receiving flood traffic from many RX queues/cpus. Simple udp_rx using simple recvfrom() loop : 438 kpps instead of 374 kpps : 17 % increase of the peak rate. v2: Addressed Willem de Bruijn feedback in multicast handling - keep early demux break in __udp4_lib_demux_lookup() Signed-off-by:
