commite5b2bc30c2upstream. During rule insertion on each ICM memory chunk we also allocate shadow memory used for management. This includes the hw_ste, dr_ste and miss list per entry. Since the scale of these allocations is large we noticed a performance hiccup that happens once malloc and free are stressed. In extreme usecases when ~1M chunks are freed at once, it might take up to 40 seconds to complete this, up to the point the kernel sees this as self-detected stall on CPU: rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU To resolve this we will increase the reuse of shadow memory. Doing this we see that a time in the aforementioned usecase dropped from ~40 seconds to ~8-10 seconds.

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 Restructured Text 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.
