Recently we started using ipmr with thousands of entries and easily hit
soft lockups on smaller devices. The reason is that the hash function
uses the high order bits from the src and dst, but those don't change in
many common cases, also the hash table is only 64 elements so with
thousands it doesn't scale at all.
This patch migrates the hash table to rhashtable, and in particular the
rhl interface which allows for duplicate elements to be chained because
of the MFC_PROXY support (*,G; *,*,oif cases) which allows for multiple
duplicate entries to be added with different interfaces (IMO wrong, but
it's been in for a long time).
And here are some results from tests I've run in a VM:
mr_table size (default, allocated for all namespaces):
Before After
49304 bytes 2400 bytes
Add 65000 routes (the diff is much larger on smaller devices):
Before After
1m42s 58s
Forwarding 256 byte packets with 65000 routes (test done in a VM):
Before After
3 Mbps / ~1465 pps 122 Mbps / ~59000 pps
As a bonus we no longer see the soft lockups on smaller devices which
showed up even with 2000 entries before.
