    ipv6: reduce percpu needs for icmpv6msg mibs · 2a24444f
    Eric Dumazet 提交于
    Reading /proc/net/snmp6 on a machine with a lot of cpus is very
    expensive (can be ~88000 us).
    
    This is because ICMPV6MSG MIB uses 4096 bytes per cpu, and folding
    values for all possible cpus can read 16 Mbytes of memory (32MBytes on
    non x86 arches)
    
    ICMP messages are not considered as fast path on a typical server, and
    eventually few cpus handle them anyway. We can afford an atomic
    operation instead of using percpu data.
    
    This saves 4096 bytes per cpu and per network namespace.
