Linux kernel source tree
b0c4946604
When queueing a set element add or removal operation to the transaction log, check if the previous operation already asks for a the identical operation on the same set. If so, store the element reference in the preceding operation. This significantlty reduces memory consumption when many set add/delete operations appear in a single transaction. Example: 10k elements require 937kb of memory (10k allocations from kmalloc-96 slab). Assuming we can compact 4 elements in the same set, 468 kbytes are needed (64 bytes for base struct, nft_trans_elemn, 32 bytes for nft_trans_one_elem structure, so 2500 allocations from kmalloc-192 slab). For large batch updates we can compact up to 62 elements into one single nft_trans_elem structure (~65% mem reduction): (64 bytes for base struct, nft_trans_elem, 32 byte for nft_trans_one_elem struct). We can halve size of nft_trans_one_elem struct by moving timeout/expire/update_flags into a dynamically allocated structure, this allows to store 124 elements in a 2k slab nft_trans_elem struct. This is done in a followup patch. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
