Merge branch 'unified-tunnel-dst-caching'
Paolo Abeni says: ==================== net: unify dst caching for tunnel devices This patch series try to unify the dst cache implementations currently present in the kernel, namely in ip_tunnel.c and ip6_tunnel.c, introducing a new generic implementation, replacing the existing ones, and then using the new implementation in other tunnel devices which currently lack it. The new dst implementation is compiled, as built-in, only if any device using it is enabled. Caching the dst for the tunnel remote address gives small, but measurable, performance improvement when tunneling over ipv4 (in the 2%-4% range) and significant ones when tunneling over ipv6 (roughly 60% when no fragmentation/segmentation take place and the tunnel local address is not specified). v2: - move the vxlan dst_cache usage inside the device lookup functions - fix usage after free for lwt tunnel moving the dst cache storage inside the dst_metadata, - sparse codying style cleanup ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
