netfilter: nf_conntrack: speed up module removal path if netns in use
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The patch introduces nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list(), which cleanups
nf_conntrack for a list of netns and calls synchronize_net() only once
for them all. This should reduce netns destruction time.

I've measured cleanup time for 1k dummy net ns. Here are the results:

 <without the patch>
 # modprobe nf_conntrack
 # time modprobe -r nf_conntrack

 real	0m10.337s
 user	0m0.000s
 sys	0m0.376s

 <with the patch>
 # modprobe nf_conntrack
 # time modprobe -r nf_conntrack

 real    0m5.661s
 user    0m0.000s
 sys     0m0.216s
