Jakub Kicinski 555e553163 selftests: net/forwarding: spawn sh inside vrf to speed up ping loop
Looking at timestamped output of netdev CI reveals that
most of the time in forwarding tests for custom route
hashing is spent on a single case, namely the test which
uses ping (mausezahn does not support flow labels).

On a non-debug kernel we spend 714 of 730 total test
runtime (97%) on this test case. While having flow label
support in a traffic gen tool / mausezahn would be best,
we can significantly speed up the loop by putting ip vrf exec
outside of the iteration.

In a test of 1000 pings using a normal loop takes 50 seconds
to finish. While using:

  ip vrf exec $vrf sh -c "$loop-body"

takes 12 seconds (1/4 of the time).

Some of the slowness is likely due to our inefficient virtualization
setup, but even on my laptop running "ip link help" 16k times takes
25-30 seconds, so I think it's worth optimizing even for fastest
setups.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
