Subject[PATCH] Revert "net: get rid of an signed integer overflow in ip_idents_reserve()"
Date
From: Yang Guo <guoyang2@huawei.com>

There is an significant performance regression with the following
commit-id <adb03115f459>
("net: get rid of an signed integer overflow in ip_idents_reserve()").

Both on x86 server(Skylake) and ARM64 server, when cpu core number
increase, the function ip_idents_reserve() of cpu usage is very high,
and the performance will become bad. After revert the patch, we can
avoid this problem when cpu core number increases.

With the patch on x86, ip_idents_reserve() cpu usage is 63.05% when
iperf3 is run with 32 cpu cores.
Samples: 18K of event 'cycles:ppp', Event count (approx.)
Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
63.18% 63.05% iperf3 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ip_idents_reserve

And the IOPS is 4483830pps.

Resert the patch, ip_idents_reserve() cpu usage is 17.05%.
Samples: 37K of event 'cycles:ppp', 4000 Hz, Event count (approx.)

The performance regression was also found on ARM64 server and discussed
a few days ago:
