From 2c51c6273c73ff04099f48fb42dfdd2acc7a1b70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2019 09:52:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net/packet: implement shortcut in tpacket_rcv() tpacket_rcv() can be hit under DDOS quite hard, since it will always grab a socket spinlock, to eventually find there is no room for an additional packet. Using tcpdump [1] on a busy host can lead to catastrophic consequences, because of all cpus spinning on a contended spinlock. This replicates a similar strategy used in packet_rcv() [1] Also some applications mistakenly use af_packet socket bound to ETH_P_ALL only to send packets. Receive queue is never drained and immediately full. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
