This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Revert "netfilter: x_tables: Switch synchronization to RCU" to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: revert-netfilter-x_tables-switch-synchronization-to-.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b5e7dd081fbf80e812ff336c73c9d473ffe8038b Author: Mark Tomlinson <mark.tomlinson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Mar 8 14:24:12 2021 +1300 Revert "netfilter: x_tables: Switch synchronization to RCU" [ Upstream commit d3d40f237480abf3268956daf18cdc56edd32834 ] This reverts commit cc00bcaa589914096edef7fb87ca5cee4a166b5c. This (and the preceding) patch basically re-implemented the RCU mechanisms of patch 784544739a25. That patch was replaced because of the performance problems that it created when replacing tables. Now, we have the same issue: the call to synchronize_rcu() makes replacing tables slower by as much as an order of magnitude. Prior to using RCU a script calling "iptables" approx. 200 times was taking 1.16s. With RCU this increased to 11.59s. Revert these patches and fix the issue in a different way.
