[PATCH 19/24] sysctl: ipv4: register devinet tables as private children

From: Lucian Adrian Grijincu
Date: Fri Apr 01 2011 - 22:55:09 EST


This halves the time it takes to add an interface:

$ time modprobe dummy numdummies=$n

Without this patch:
- n=5000 => real: 17:31m, sys 15:29m
- n=2000 => real: 2:23m, sys 2:19m
- n=1000 => real: 0:25m, sys 0:24m

With this patch:
- n=5000 => real: 9:14m, sys: 8:46m
- n=2000 => real: 1:19m, sys: 1:17m
- n=1000 => real: 0:14m, sys: 0:14m
