Subject: tc: use ll_init_map() only when needed
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4f5de57e2ff11a5925dacdf3deeeabee7ba9502a;p=thirdparty%2Fiproute2.git

tc: use ll_init_map() only when needed

Some setups can have thousands of devices.

ll_init_map() is rather expensive for them.

Only call ll_init_map() in the following cases:

1) tc runs in batch mode.
2) tc runs in monitor mode.
3) tc dumps qdiscs/classes/filters for all netdev.

This greatly reduces RTNL pressure on common operations.
