    Subject[PATCH 5.10 535/563] netns: add schedule point in ops_exit_list()
    Date
    From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

    commit 2836615aa22de55b8fca5e32fe1b27a67cda625e upstream.

    When under stress, cleanup_net() can have to dismantle
    netns in big numbers. ops_exit_list() currently calls
    many helpers [1] that have no schedule point, and we can
    end up with soft lockups, particularly on hosts
    with many cpus.

    Even for moderate amount of netns processed by cleanup_net()
    this patch avoids latency spikes.

    [1] Some of these helpers like fib_sync_up() and fib_sync_down_dev()
    are very slow because net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c uses host-wide hash tables,
    and ifindex is used as the only input of two hash functions.
    ifindexes tend to be the same for all netns (lo.ifindex==1 per instance)
    This will be fixed in a separate patch.

    Fixes: 72ad937abd0a ("net: Add support for batching network namespace cleanups")
