neigh: reduce arp latency
Remove the artificial HZ latency on arp resolution. Instead of firing a timer in one jiffy (up to 10 ms if HZ=100), lets send the ARP message immediately. Before patch : # arp -d 192.168.20.108 ; ping -c 3 192.168.20.108 PING 192.168.20.108 (192.168.20.108) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=9.91 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.065 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.061 ms After patch : $ arp -d 192.168.20.108 ; ping -c 3 192.168.20.108 PING 192.168.20.108 (192.168.20.108) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.152 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.064 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.074 ms Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
