David S. Miller 50676de486 Merge branch 'act_police-lockless-data-path'
Davide Caratti says:

====================
net/sched: act_police: lockless data path

the data path of 'police' action can be faster if we avoid using spinlocks:
 - patch 1 converts act_police to use per-cpu counters
 - patch 2 lets act_police use RCU to access its configuration data.

test procedure (using pktgen from https://github.com/netoptimizer):
 # ip link add name eth1 type dummy
 # ip link set dev eth1 up
 # tc qdisc add dev eth1 clsact
 # tc filter add dev eth1 egress matchall action police \
 > rate 2gbit burst 100k conform-exceed pass/pass index 100
 # for c in 1 2 4; do
 > ./pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_queue_xmit.sh -v -s 64 -t $c -n 5000000 -i eth1
 > done

test results (avg. pps/thread):

  $c | before patch |  after patch | improvement

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
