tcp: do not lock listener to process SYN packets Everything should now be ready to finally allow SYN packets processing without holding listener lock. Tested: 3.5 Mpps SYNFLOOD. Plenty of cpu cycles available. Next bottleneck is the refcount taken on listener, that could be avoided if we remove SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU strict semantic for listeners, and use regular RCU. 13.18% [kernel] [k] __inet_lookup_listener 9.61% [kernel] [k] tcp_conn_request 8.16% [kernel] [k] sha_transform 5.30% [kernel] [k] inet_reqsk_alloc 4.22% [kernel] [k] sock_put 3.74% [kernel] [k] tcp_make_synack 2.88% [kernel] [k] ipt_do_table 2.56% [kernel] [k] memcpy_erms 2.53% [kernel] [k] sock_wfree 2.40% [kernel] [k] tcp_v4_rcv 2.08% [kernel] [k] fib_table_lookup 1.84% [kernel] [k] tcp_openreq_init_rwin Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
