Eric Dumazet a90c9347e9 ipv6: addrlabel: per netns list
Having a global list of labels do not scale to thousands of
netns in the cloud era. This causes quadratic behavior on
netns creation and deletion.

This is time having a per netns list of ~10 labels.

Tested:

$ time perf record (for f in `seq 1 3000` ; do ip netns add tast$f; done)
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.637 MB perf.data (~158898 samples) ]

real    0m20.837s # instead of 0m24.227s
user    0m0.328s
sys     0m20.338s # instead of 0m23.753s

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
