net: skip genenerating uevents for network namespaces that are exiting
No one can see these events, because a network namespace can not be destroyed, if it has sockets. Unlike other devices, uevent-s for network devices are generated only inside their network namespaces. They are filtered in kobj_bcast_filter() My experiments shows that net namespaces are destroyed more 30% faster with this optimization. Here is a perf output for destroying network namespaces without this patch. - 94.76% 0.02% kworker/u48:1 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cleanup_net - 94.74% cleanup_net - 94.64% ops_exit_list.isra.4 - 41.61% default_device_exit_batch - 41.47% unregister_netdevice_many - rollback_registered_many - 40.36% netdev_unregister_kobject - 14.55% device_del + 13.71% kobject_uevent - 13.04% netdev_queue_update_kobjects + 12.96% kobject_put - 12.72% net_rx_queue_update_kobjects kobject_put - kobject_release + 12.69% kobject_uevent + 0.80% call_netdevice_notifiers_info + 19.57% nfsd_exit_net + 11.15% tcp_net_metrics_exit + 8.25% rpcsec_gss_exit_net It's very critical to optimize the exit path for network namespaces, because they are destroyed under net_mutex and many namespaces can be destroyed for one iteration. v2: use dev_set_uevent_suppress() Cc: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Cc: "David S.
