ipv6: Avoid rt6_probe() taking writer lock in the fast path
The patch checks neigh->nud_state before acquiring the writer lock. Note that rt6_probe() is only used in CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF. 40 udpflood processes and a /64 gateway route are used. The gateway has NUD_PERMANENT. Each of them is run for 30s. At the end, the total number of finished sendto(): Before: 55M After: 95M Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Cc: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> CC: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> CC: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <hideaki.yoshifuji@miraclelinux.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
