af_unix: Define a per-netns hash table.
This commit adds a per netns hash table for AF_UNIX, which size is fixed
as UNIX_HASH_SIZE for now.
The first implementation defines a per-netns hash table as a single array
of lock and list:
struct unix_hashbucket {
spinlock_t lock;
struct hlist_head head;
};
struct netns_unix {
struct unix_hashbucket *hash;
...
};
But, Eric pointed out memory cost that the structure has holes because of
sizeof(spinlock_t), which is 4 (or more if LOCKDEP is enabled). [0] It
could be expensive on a host with thousands of netns and few AF_UNIX
sockets. For this reason, a per-netns hash table uses two dense arrays.
struct unix_table {
spinlock_t *locks;
struct hlist_head *buckets;
};
struct netns_unix {
struct unix_table table;
...
};
Note the length of the list has a significant impact rather than lock
contention, so having shared locks can be an option. But, per-netns
locks and lists still perform better than the global locks and per-netns
lists. [1]
Also, this patch adds a change so that struct netns_unix disappears from
struct net if CONFIG_UNIX is disabled.
