Under high contention dst_entry::__refcnt becomes a significant bottleneck. atomic_inc_not_zero() is implemented with a cmpxchg() loop, which goes into high retry rates on contention. Switch the reference count to rcuref_t which results in a significant performance gain. Rename the reference count member to __rcuref to reflect the change. The gain depends on the micro-architecture and the number of concurrent operations and has been measured in the range of +25% to +130% with a localhost memtier/memcached benchmark which amplifies the problem massively. Running the memtier/memcached benchmark over a real (1Gb) network connection the conversion on top of the false sharing fix for struct dst_entry::__refcnt results in a total gain in the 2%-5% range over the upstream baseline.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
