ipv6: remove max_size check inline with ipv4
In ip6_dst_gc() replace: if (entries > gc_thresh) With: if (entries > ops->gc_thresh) Sending Ipv6 packets in a loop via a raw socket triggers an issue where a route is cloned by ip6_rt_cache_alloc() for each packet sent. This quickly consumes the Ipv6 max_size threshold which defaults to 4096 resulting in these warnings: [1] 99.187805] dst_alloc: 7728 callbacks suppressed [2] Route cache is full: consider increasing sysctl net.ipv6.route.max_size. . . [300] Route cache is full: consider increasing sysctl net.ipv6.route.max_size. When this happens the packet is dropped and sendto() gets a network is unreachable error: remaining pkt 200557 errno 101 remaining pkt 196462 errno 101 . . remaining pkt 126821 errno 101 Implement David Aherns suggestion to remove max_size check seeing that Ipv6 has a GC to manage memory usage. Ipv4 already does not check max_size. Here are some memory comparisons for Ipv4 vs Ipv6 with the patch: Test by running 5 instances of a program that sends UDP packets to a raw socket 5000000 times. Compare Ipv4 and Ipv6 performance with a similar program.
