net: add doc for ip_early_demux sysctl
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 6648bd7 (ipv4: Add sysctl knob to control
early socket demux) introduced such sysctl, but forgot to add
doc into Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt. This patch adds it.

Basically I grab the doc from the description of commit 41063e9
(ipv4: Early TCP socket demux.) and the above commit.

ip_early_demux - BOOLEAN
Optimize input packet processing down to one demux for
certain kinds of local sockets. Currently we only do this
for established TCP sockets.

It may add an additional cost for pure routing workloads that
reduces overall throughput, in such case you should disable it.
Default: 1

icmp_echo_ignore_all - BOOLEAN
If set non-zero, then the kernel will ignore all ICMP ECHO
requests sent to it.
