kobject: factorize skb setup in kobject_uevent_net_broadcast() We can build one skb and let it be cloned in netlink. This is much faster, and use less memory (all clones will share the same skb->head) Tested: time perf record (for f in `seq 1 3000` ; do ip netns add tast$f; done) [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.110 MB perf.data (~179584 samples) ] real 0m24.227s # instead of 0m52.554s user 0m0.329s sys 0m23.753s # instead of 0m51.375s 14.77% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __ip6addrlbl_add 14.56% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] netlink_broadcast_filtered 11.65% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] netlink_has_listeners 6.19% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave 5.66% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kobject_uevent_env 4.97% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memset_erms 4.67% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] refcount_sub_and_test 4.41% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_read_lock 3.59% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] refcount_inc_not_zero 3.13% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore 1.55% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __wake_up 1.20% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] strlen 1.03% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __wake_up_common 0.93% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] consume_skb 0.92% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] netlink_trim 0.87% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] insert_header 0.63% ip [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unmap_page_range Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
