ipv6: convert major tx path to use RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF
For tx path, in most cases, we still have to take refcnt on the dst cause the caller is caching the dst somewhere. But it still is beneficial to make use of RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF flag while doing the route lookup. It is cause this flag prevents manipulating refcnt on net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry when doing fib6_rule_lookup() to traverse each routing table. The null_entry is a shared object and constant updates on it cause false sharing. We converted the current major lookup function ip6_route_output_flags() to make use of RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF. Together with the change in the rx path, we see noticable performance boost: I ran synflood tests between 2 hosts under the same switch. Both hosts have 20G mlx NIC, and 8 tx/rx queues. Sender sends pure SYN flood with random src IPs and ports using trafgen. Receiver has a simple TCP listener on the target port. Both hosts have multiple custom rules: - For incoming packets, only local table is traversed. - For outgoing packets, 3 tables are traversed to find the route. The packet processing rate on the receiver is as follows: - Before the fix: 3.78Mpps - After the fix: 5.50Mpps Signed-off-by: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
