Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/testing'
Eyal Birger says:
====================
When having many xfrm interfaces, the linear lookup of devices based on
if_id becomes costly.
The first patch refactors xfrmi_decode_session() to use the xi used in
the netdevice priv context instead of looking it up in the list based
on ifindex. This is needed in order to use if_id as the only key used
for xi lookup.
The second patch extends the existing infrastructure - which already
stores the xfrmi contexts in an array of lists - to use a hash of the
if_id.
Example benchmarks:
- running on a KVM based VM
- xfrm tunnel mode between two namespaces
- xfrm interface in one namespace (10.0.0.2)
Before this change set:
Single xfrm interface in namespace:
$ netperf -H 10.0.0.2 -l8 -I95,10 -t TCP_STREAM
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.0.0.2 () port 0 AF_INET : +/-5.000% @ 95% conf. : demo

After adding 400 xfrmi interfaces in the same namespace:
$ netperf -H 10.0.0.2 -l8 -I95,10 -t TCP_STREAM
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.0.0.2 () port 0 AF_INET : +/-5.000% @ 95% conf. : demo

After this patchset there was no observed change after adding the
xfrmi interfaces.
