[PATCH nf v4 1/3] ipvs: add totalconns for dest

Yizhou Zhao <[email protected]> Fri, 31 Jul 2026 22:27:41 +0800
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.lvs-devel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel,org.kernel.vger.netdev,org.kernel.vger.netfilter-devel,org.kernel.vger.stable
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Julian Anastasov <[email protected]>

Replace the inactconns dest counter with totalconns, now
inactconns can be obtained from totalconns - activeconns.
This reduces the atomic inc/dec ops for TCP/SCTP from
6 to 4 if the connection is established and then closed.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
