      [VLAN]: Reduce memory consumed by vlan_groups · 67727184
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      Currently each vlan_groupd contains 8 pointers on arrays with 512
      pointers on struct net_device each  :)  Such a construction "in many
      cases ... wastes memory".
      
      My proposal is to allow for some of these arrays pointers be NULL,
      meaning that there are no devices in it. When a new device is added
      to the vlan_group, the appropriate array is allocated.
      
      The check in vlan_group_get_device's is safe, since the pointer
      vg->vlan_devices_arrays[x] can only switch from NULL to not-NULL.
      The vlan_group_prealloc_vid() is guarded with rtnl lock and is
      also safe.
      
      I've checked (I hope that) all the places, that use these arrays
      and found, that the register_vlan_dev is the only place, that can
      put a vlan device on an empty vlan_group.
      
      Rough calculations shows, that after the patch a setup with a
      single vlan dev (or up to 512 vlans with sequential vids) will
      occupy approximately 8 times less memory.
      
      The question I have is - does this patch makes sense, or a totally
      new structures are required to store the vlan_devs?
