    netns: add pre_exit method to struct pernet_operations · d7d99872
    Eric Dumazet authored
    Current struct pernet_operations exit() handlers are highly
    discouraged to call synchronize_rcu().
    
    There are cases where we need them, and exit_batch() does
    not help the common case where a single netns is dismantled.
    
    This patch leverages the existing synchronize_rcu() call
    in cleanup_net()
    
    Calling optional ->pre_exit() method before ->exit() or
    ->exit_batch() allows to benefit from a single synchronize_rcu()
    call.
    
    Note that the synchronize_rcu() calls added in this patch
    are only in error paths or slow paths.
    
    Tested:
    
    $ time for i in {1..1000}; do unshare -n /bin/false;done
