From 78df76a065ae3b5dbcb9a29912adc02f697de498 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2012 05:40:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: take rt_uncached_lock only if needed Multicast traffic allocates dst with DST_NOCACHE, but dst is not inserted into rt_uncached_list. This slowdown multicast workloads on SMP because rt_uncached_lock is contended. Change the test before taking the lock to actually check the dst was inserted into rt_uncached_list.
