4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d7d99872c144a2c2f5d9c9d83627fa833836cba5 upstream. Current struct pernet_operations exit() handlers are highly discouraged to call synchronize_rcu(). There are cases where we need them, and exit_batch() does not help the common case where a single netns is dismantled. This patch leverages the existing synchronize_rcu() call in cleanup_net() Calling optional ->pre_exit() method before ->exit() or ->exit_batch() allows to benefit from a single synchronize_rcu() call. Note that the synchronize_rcu() calls added in this patch are only in error paths or slow paths. Tested: $ time for i in {1..1000}; do unshare -n /bin/false;done real 0m2.612s user 0m0.171s sys 0m2.216s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
