X-Git-Tag: v5.15~15428^2~16^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6742b9e310bcf511b876532846e5302b07b7fedc;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-starfive.git

netfilter: nfnetlink: keep going batch handling on missing modules

After a fresh boot with no modules in place at all and a large rulesets, the
existing nfnetlink_rcv_batch() funcion can take long time to commit the ruleset
due to the many abort path. This is specifically a problem for the existing
client of this code, ie. nf_tables, since it results in several
synchronize_rcu() call in a row.

This patch changes the policy to keep full batch processing on missing modules
errors so we abort only once.
