udp: dynamically size hash tables at boot time
UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for several setups. 4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long chains hurt latency. Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and rhash_entries. dmesg logs two new lines : [ 0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) [ 0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non debugging spinlocks.
