Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/9] ipvs: make ip_vs_svc_table and ip_vs_svc_fwm_table per netns

From: Florian Westphal <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 21:50:40 +0100

From: Jiejian Wu <[email-masked]>

Current ipvs uses one global mutex "__ip_vs_mutex" to keep the global
"ip_vs_svc_table" and "ip_vs_svc_fwm_table" safe. But when there are
tens of thousands of services from different netns in the table, it
takes a long time to look up the table, for example, using "ipvsadm
-ln" from different netns simultaneously.

We make "ip_vs_svc_table" and "ip_vs_svc_fwm_table" per netns, and we
add "service_mutex" per netns to keep these two tables safe instead of
the global "__ip_vs_mutex" in current version. To this end, looking up
services from different netns simultaneously will not get stuck,
shortening the time consumption in large-scale deployment. It can be
reproduced using the simple scripts below.

init.sh: #!/bin/bash
for((i=1;i<=4;i++));do
        ip netns add ns$i
        ip netns exec ns$i ip link set dev lo up
        ip netns exec ns$i sh add-services.sh
done

add-services.sh: #!/bin/bash
for((i=0;i<30000;i++)); do
        ipvsadm -A  -t 10.10.10.10:$((80+$i)) -s rr
done

runtest.sh: #!/bin/bash
for((i=1;i<4;i++));do
        ip netns exec ns$i ipvsadm -ln > /dev/null &
done
ip netns exec ns4 ipvsadm -ln > /dev/null

Run "sh init.sh" to initiate the network environment. Then run "time
./runtest.sh" to evaluate the time consumption. Our testbed is a 4-core
Intel Xeon ECS. The result of the original version is around 8 seconds,
while the result of the modified version is only 0.8 seconds.
