2017-02-06bridge: fdb: write to used and updated at most once per jiffyNikolay Aleksandrov1-1/+2
Writing once per jiffy is enough to limit the bridge's false sharing. After this change the bridge doesn't show up in the local load HitM stats. Suggested-by: David S.

2017-02-06bridge: move to workqueue gcNikolay Aleksandrov1-12/+19
Move the fdb garbage collector to a workqueue which fires at least 10 milliseconds apart and cleans chain by chain allowing for other tasks to run in the meantime. When having thousands of fdbs the system is much more responsive. Most importantly remove the need to check if the matched entry has expired in __br_fdb_get that causes false-sharing and is completely unnecessary if we cleanup entries, at worst we'll get 10ms of traffic for that entry before it gets deleted.
