SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/3] net: introduce a list of device addresses dev_addr_list

You see no difference ? Please look more closely...

I see one additional dereference in hot path, to small objects possibly
with false sharing effects.

So I would advise not changing dev_addr[] to a pointer.
And instead copy first netdev_hw_addr into it.

Also, doing a kzalloc(sizeof(struct netdev_hw_addr)) for allocating these structs
might give a block of memory < L1_CACHE_SIZE so kernel is free to give other
part of this cache line to some other layer that could be a hot spot, so
false sharing could happen.

kzalloc(max(sizeof(*ha), L1_CACHE_SIZE)) is thus higly recommended here.

This locking is highly suspect.

Since you obviously need a write lock here to be sure following
can be done by one cpu only.

You have same problem all over this patch.

kzalloc(max(sizeof(*ha), L1_CACHE_SIZE), GFP_...) is thus higly recommended here.

Also, why GFP_ATOMIC is needed here ?

Oh well... I'm pretty sure this synchronize_rcu() call can be avoided,
dont you think ? Check kfree_rcu() or equivalent, as it seems not yet
included in current kernels...

locking is not correct or unnecessary
