af_unix: Try to run GC async.
If more than 16000 inflight AF_UNIX sockets exist and the garbage collector is not running, unix_(dgram|stream)_sendmsg() call unix_gc(). Also, they wait for unix_gc() to complete. In unix_gc(), all inflight AF_UNIX sockets are traversed at least once, and more if they are the GC candidate. Thus, sendmsg() significantly slows down with too many inflight AF_UNIX sockets. However, if a process sends data with no AF_UNIX FD, the sendmsg() call does not need to wait for GC. After this change, only the process that meets the condition below will be blocked under such a situation. 1) cmsg contains AF_UNIX socket 2) more than 32 AF_UNIX sent by the same user are still inflight Note that even a sendmsg() call that does not meet the condition but has AF_UNIX FD will be blocked later in unix_scm_to_skb() by the spinlock, but we allow that as a bonus for sane users. The results below are the time spent in unix_dgram_sendmsg() sending 1 byte of data with no FD 4096 times on a host where 32K inflight AF_UNIX sockets exist. Without series: the sane sendmsg() needs to wait gc unreasonably. $ sudo /usr/share/bcc/tools/funclatency -p 11165 unix_dgram_sendmsg Tracing 1 functions for "unix_dgram_sendmsg"...
