Cong Wang ac2be03ba6 net_sched: get rid of rcu_barrier() in tcf_block_put_ext() 
commit efbf789739 upstream.

Both Eric and Paolo noticed the rcu_barrier() we use in
tcf_block_put_ext() could be a performance bottleneck when
we have a lot of tc classes.

Paolo provided the following to demonstrate the issue:

tc qdisc add dev lo root htb
for I in `seq 1 1000`; do
        tc class add dev lo parent 1: classid 1:$I htb rate 100kbit
        tc qdisc add dev lo parent 1:$I handle $((I + 1)): htb
        for J in `seq 1 10`; do
                tc filter add dev lo parent $((I + 1)): u32 match ip src 1.1.1.$J
        done
done
time tc qdisc del dev root

real    0m54.764s
user    0m0.023s
sys     0m0.000s

The rcu_barrier() there is to ensure we free the block after all chains
are gone, that is, to queue tcf_block_put_final() at the tail of workqueue.
We can achieve this ordering requirement by refcnt'ing tcf block instead,
that is, the tcf block is freed only when the last chain in this block is
gone. This also simplifies the code.

Paolo reported after this patch we get:

real    0m0.017s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.017s

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
