H A Dicmp.cc0303efe Mon Jan 09 09:04:09 CST 2017 Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> net: reduce cycles spend on ICMP replies that gets rate limited

This patch split the global and per (inet)peer ICMP-reply limiter
code, and moves the global limit check to earlier in the packet
processing path. Thus, avoid spending cycles on ICMP replies that
gets limited/suppressed anyhow.

The global ICMP rate limiter icmp_global_allow() is a good solution,
it just happens too late in the process. The kernel goes through the
full route lookup (return path) for the ICMP message, before taking
the rate limit decision of not sending the ICMP reply.

Details: The kernels global rate limiter for ICMP messages got added
in commit 4cdf507d5452 ("icmp: add a global rate limitation"). It is
a token bucket limiter with a global lock. It brilliantly avoids
locking congestion by only updating when 20ms (HZ/50) were elapsed. It
can then avoids taking lock when credit is exhausted (when under
pressure) and time constraint for refill is not yet meet.
