[PATCH v2 00/31] Replacing net_mutex with rw_semaphore

[Kirill Tkhai]

Hi,

there is the second version of patchset introducing net_sem
instead of net_mutex. The patchset adds net_sem in addition
to net_mutex and allows pernet_operations to be async. This
flag means, the pernet_operations methods are safe to be
executed with any othor pernet_operations (un)initializing
another net.

If there are only async pernet_operations in the system,
net_mutex is not used either for setup_net() or for cleanup_net().

The flag is little easier, then (un)register_pernet_sys(),
as it changes one line only. Also, it requires less changes
in code. In future, when all pernet_operations are async,
we'll just remove this struct field.

The pernet_operations converted in this patchset allow
to create minimal .config to have network working, and
the changes improve the performance like you may see
below:

    %for i in {1..10000}; do unshare -n bash -c exit; done
    
    *before*
    real 1m40,377s
    user 0m9,672s
    sys 0m19,928s
    
    *after*
    real 0m17,007s
    user 0m5,311s
    sys 0m11,779
    
    (5.8 times faster)
