Another thing making netns dismantles potentially very slow is located
in gro_cells_destroy(),
whenever cleanup_net() has to remove a device using gro_cells framework.
RTNL is not held at this stage, so synchronize_net()
is calling synchronize_rcu():
netdev_run_todo()
ip_tunnel_dev_free()
gro_cells_destroy()
synchronize_net()
synchronize_rcu() // Ouch.
This patch uses call_rcu(), and gave me a 25x performance improvement
in my tests.
cleanup_net() is no longer blocked ~10 ms per synchronize_rcu()
call.
In the case we could not allocate the memory needed to queue the
deferred free, use synchronize_rcu_expedited()
v2: made percpu_free_defer_callback() static

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
