Changed this to use a per-CPU stats context instead. This change will result in better performance. patch2 (2/3): Modified netronome nfp flower action to use VLAN helper functions instead of accessing/referencing TC act_vlan private structures directly. patch3 (3/3): Using a spinlock in the VLAN action causes performance issues when the VLAN action is used on multiple cores. Rewrote the VLAN action to use RCU read locking for reads and updates instead. All functions now use an RCU dereferenced pointer to access the VLAN action context. Modified helper functions used by other modules, to use the RCU as opposed to directly accessing the structure. As part of this review, there were some changes suggested by reviewers. I have incorporated all the changes that were requested. Here're the changes: v2: Fixed all helper functions to use RCU (rtnl_dereference) - Eric, Jamal v2: Fixed indentation, extra line nits - Jamal, Jiri v2: Moved rcu_head to the end of the struct - Jiri v2: Re-formatted locals to reverse-christmas-tree - Jiri v2: Removed mismatched spin_lock() - Cong v2: Removed spin_lock_bh() in tcf_vlan_init, rtnl_dereference() should suffice - Cong, Jiri v4: Modified the nfp flower action code to use the VLAN helper functions instead of referencing the structure directly. Isolated this into a separate patch - Pieter Jansen v5: Got rid of the unlikely() for the allocation case - Simon Horman v6: Had forgotten cleanup functions for RCU alloc, added them - Dave Miller v7: Re-formatted more locals to reverse-christmas-tree - Pieter V v8: Reverted reverse-christmas-tree(v7), not required when dependencies make it difficult to implement - Alexander D v9: Cover letter subject change - Jamal ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
