From 8981a720aac4ab22beb3375cd77062a8aed693e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gibson Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2024 11:50:43 +1100 Subject: flow: Avoid moving flow entries to compact table Currently we always keep the flow table maximally compact: that is all the active entries are contiguous at the start of the table. Doing this sometimes requires moving an entry when one is freed. That's kind of fiddly, and potentially expensive: it requires updating the hash table for the new location, and depending on flow type, it may require EPOLL_CTL_MOD, system calls to update epoll tags with the new location too. Implement a new way of managing the flow table that doesn't ever move entries. It attempts to maintain some compactness by always using the first free slot for a new connection, and mitigates the effect of non compactness by cheaply skipping over contiguous blocks of free entries. See the "theory of operation" comment in flow.c for details.
