fib_hash: RCU conversion phase 2
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Get rid of fib_hash_lock rwlock.

The fn_zone hash table resize is the noticeable part of this patch.

I added a seqlock per fn_zone, so that readers can restart their lookup
in the (very rare) case a writer expanded the hash table.

Add rcu heads in fib_alias and fib_node, use call_rcu() to defer their
freeing, and use appropriate _rcu list manipulations.

Stress test (160.000.000 udp frames sent, IP route cache disabled to
mimic DDOS attack, FIB_HASH)
