    ipv6: Avoid rt6_probe() taking writer lock in the fast path · 8d6c31bf
    Martin KaFai Lau authored
    The patch checks neigh->nud_state before acquiring the writer lock.
    Note that rt6_probe() is only used in CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF.
    
    40 udpflood processes and a /64 gateway route are used.
    The gateway has NUD_PERMANENT.  Each of them is run for 30s.
    At the end, the total number of finished sendto():
    
    Before: 55M
    After: 95M
