    fib: RCU conversion of fib_lookup() · ebc0ffae
    Eric Dumazet authored
    
    
    fib_lookup() converted to be called in RCU protected context, no
    reference taken and released on a contended cache line (fib_clntref)
    
    fib_table_lookup() and fib_semantic_match() get an additional parameter.
    
    struct fib_info gets an rcu_head field, and is freed after an rcu grace
    period.
    
    Stress test :
    (Sending 160.000.000 UDP frames on same neighbour,
    IP route cache disabled, dual E5540 @2.53GHz,
    32bit kernel, FIB_HASH) (about same results for FIB_TRIE)
