af_unix: Define a per-netns hash table.
This commit adds a per netns hash table for AF_UNIX, which size is fixed as UNIX_HASH_SIZE for now. The first implementation defines a per-netns hash table as a single array of lock and list: struct unix_hashbucket { spinlock_t lock; struct hlist_head head; }; struct netns_unix { struct unix_hashbucket *hash; ... }; But, Eric pointed out memory cost that the structure has holes because of sizeof(spinlock_t), which is 4 (or more if LOCKDEP is enabled). [0] It could be expensive on a host with thousands of netns and few AF_UNIX sockets. For this reason, a per-netns hash table uses two dense arrays. struct unix_table { spinlock_t *locks; struct hlist_head *buckets; }; struct netns_unix { struct unix_table table; ... }; Note the length of the list has a significant impact rather than lock contention, so having shared locks can be an option. But, per-netns locks and lists still perform better than the global locks and per-netns lists. [1] Also, this patch adds a change so that struct netns_unix disappears from struct net if CONFIG_UNIX is disabled.
