commit2836615aa2upstream. When under stress, cleanup_net() can have to dismantle netns in big numbers. ops_exit_list() currently calls many helpers [1] that have no schedule point, and we can end up with soft lockups, particularly on hosts with many cpus. Even for moderate amount of netns processed by cleanup_net() this patch avoids latency spikes. [1] Some of these helpers like fib_sync_up() and fib_sync_down_dev() are very slow because net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c uses host-wide hash tables, and ifindex is used as the only input of two hash functions. ifindexes tend to be the same for all netns (lo.ifindex==1 per instance) This will be fixed in a separate patch.

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.
