From 2384d02520ff2a916169b2fd85ea50e923ed56c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Barnhill <0xeffeff@gmail.com> Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2018 20:23:57 +0000 Subject: net/ipv6: Add anycast addresses to a global hashtable MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit icmp6_send() function is expensive on systems with a large number of interfaces. Every time it’s called, it has to verify that the source address does not correspond to an existing anycast address by looping through every device and every anycast address on the device. This can result in significant delays for a CPU when there are a large number of neighbors and ND timers are frequently timing out and calling neigh_invalidate(). Add anycast addresses to a global hashtable to allow quick searching for matching anycast addresses. This is based on inet6_addr_lst in addrconf.c.
