====================
net/sched: conditional notification of events for cls and act
This is an optimization we have been leveraging on P4TC but we believe
it will benefit rtnl users in general.
It's common to allocate an skb, build a notification message and then
broadcast an event. In the absence of any user space listeners, these
resources (cpu and memory operations) are wasted. In cases where the subsystem
is lockless (such as in tc-flower) this waste is more prominent. For the
scenarios where the rtnl_lock is held it is not as prominent.
The idea is simple. Build and send the notification iif:
- The user requests via NLM_F_ECHO or
- Someone is listening to the rtnl group (tc mon)
On a simple test with tc-flower adding 1M entries, using just a single core,
there's already a noticeable difference in the cycles spent in tc_new_tfilter
with this patchset.
before:
- 43.68% tc_new_tfilter
+ 31.73% fl_change
+ 6.35% tfilter_notify
+ 1.62% nlmsg_notify
0.66% __tcf_qdisc_find.part.0
0.64% __tcf_chain_get
0.54% fl_get
+ 0.53% tcf_proto_lookup_ops
after:
- 39.20% tc_new_tfilter
+ 34.58% fl_change
0.69% __tcf_qdisc_find.part.0
0.67% __tcf_chain_get
+ 0.61% tcf_proto_lookup_ops
Note, the above test is using iproute2:tc which execs a shell.
We expect people using netlink directly to observe even greater
reductions.
The qdisc side needs some refactoring of the notification routines to fit in
this new model, so they will be sent in a later patchset.

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 Restructured Text 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.
