bridge: move to workqueue gc

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.

2013-05-10	docs: minor: fix mentioning of Documentation/	Daniel Borkmann	1	-1/+1
	The Documentation/ folder no longer exists. Either everything important can be found in the man pages or other documentation files. Fix the mentioning of Documentation/. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-04-11	docs: move some of them to the root directory	Daniel Borkmann	1	-0/+833
	Lets move CodingStyle, SubmittingPatches, and Sponsors into the root directory of netsniff-ng and remove the Documentation folder. Some of those files are quite bloated, and most of these things should be in the man-pages anyway. They should be the only big sources of documentation, nothing else. The rest is currently put here: http://pub.netsniff-ng.org/docs/ Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
