From 99c6f60e72f112b57ddb07abb2e5f771ee211f43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jamal Hadi Salim Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 14:25:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipsec: pfkey should ignore events when no listeners When pfkey has no km listeners, it still does a lot of work before finding out there aint nobody out there. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? In this case it makes a lot of noise: With this short-circuit adding 10s of thousands of SAs using netlink improves performance by ~10%. Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim Signed-off-by: David S.
